Pennine Bridleway, and Many Places in Between, by Public Transport
How do I get PENNINE there and back? You can reach both ends of the Pennine Bridleway, and many places in between, by public transport. The BRIDLEWAY nearest rail station to Middleton Top, at the southern end of the trail, is Cromford. It is on the Derwent Valley line between Derby and Matlock. NATIONAL TRAIL Horse riders are advised to start at Hartington Station on the Tissington Trail. At the northern end the trail ends in Ravenstonedale, though there is an alternative link to the nearest train station in Kirkby Stephen, approximately 6km away, which is on the Settle to Carlisle line. How hard is it? The route runs through the Pennines so expect hills and changeable weather! The Trail is well maintained and signposted and provides an amazing long distance route through classic Pennine scenery with miles of off road tracks, safe road and river crossings, and no stiles or steps to negotiate. But don’t underestimate those Pennine hills; there are steep climbs, exhilarating descents and some challenging terrain. However, at the southern end the trail follows disused railway lines and provides an easily accessible route for all the family. Horse riders and walkers could expect to cover around A trail for all seasons 15 miles a day, cyclists as much as 30. Summer is the most popular time to enjoy the Pennine Bridleway, when the weather is more reliable and the days are long. From mid August the heather comes into flower, creating a purple blanket over the moors. Autumnal colours on the moors and in ancient Pennine woodlands can create spectacular scenes, and when NATIONAL TRAIL winter comes expect snow and ice on the hills @PBridleway @thenationaltrails www.nationaltrail.co.uk/ www.nationaltrail.co.uk/penninebridleway penninebridleway What will I see? The route traverses a great variety of landscapes from open moorland to steep-sided wooded river valleys and passes thorough the Peak District, the South Looking for Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

National Trails Annual Report 2013/14
National Trails Annual Report 2013/14 NATIONAL TRAILS www.gov.uk/natural-england Contents >> Executive Summary This report is our first annual report on National Trails and follows our 2011-13 Review. It covers the period from April 2013 to March 2014 and is structured to illustrate progress against the revised Quality Standards for National Trails. We believe that good progress has been made during this first year with 8 out of 13 Trails confirming new delivery arrangements that will enable them to achieve the ambition that National Trails are ‘at least as good if not better than they are today’. Each of the Trail Partnerships with new delivery arrangements have submitted annual reports and all Trails have reported on Trail condition. In addition, Walk Unlimited, our promotion partners for the family of Trails has developed the new website and use of social media, and has also provided quarterly updates. The information from these partners focusses on the Key Performance Indicators as set out in the Quality Standards and showcases numerous examples from each of the Trails demonstrating the value of our ongoing investment. Specifically this report shows that: National Trails continue to be enjoyed by millions of visitors every year. For some they provide a life changing experience, whilst for many others they are regularly used, well-loved paths where they can enjoy the benefits of the natural environment. In spite of challenging financial circumstances and some recent extreme weather events, on the whole the National Trails in England are in good condition with some ambitious plans for further improvements to the routes and their corridors.

Unfinished Business
theUnfinished last 2% of the Pennine business.... Bridleway The Pennine Bridleway is one of fifteen National Trails in England and Wales. The National Trails website (http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/ pennine-bridleway) says that “The Pennine Bridleway offers horse riders, cyclists and walkers the opportunity to explore 205 miles of the Pennines' ancient packhorse routes, drovers roads and newly created bridleways”. Sadly, this isn’t quite true. Around Glossop and Charlesworth, horse riders and cyclists have to take to dangerous roads for about 5-6 miles. This situation means local and long distance horse riders are facing risks on the roads and that the Pennine Bridleway is not being used as much as it could be despite having cost taxpayers many millions of pounds. This briefing explores why this situation has arisen. It describes how bureaucratic budget timing differences between Natural England (NE) Pennine Bridleway.... and Derbyshire County Council (DCC) have led to tens of thousands of “the [dead end] route is fine to pounds of money supposedly dedicated to the project going unspent; ride now albeit it that we would how difficult the terrain is for the proposed route; how for part of it at need to turn around and come least, a much cheaper equally enjoyable alternative exists; and how back the same way. It would give DCC are failing to take the initiative and work with partners to solve the local riders a 40 minute return ride problems. which would be great.
