This guide features ten family-friendly and easy-paced short walks across the North Pennines, England. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1988, it’s Britain’s second largest at almost 770 square miles. Featuring open heather moor and peatland, shaped by rivers like the Wear and the Tees, it’s a blend of rugged fells, gentle dales, and historical sites like Hadrian’s Wall. Since 2015, it’s been a UNESCO Geopark. |
