The Pennine Way Originally the inspiration of walker and writer Tom Stephenson in an article published in 1935 in the Daily Herald titled ‘Wanted : A LongGreen Trail’, the Pennine Way was designated in 1965 as Britain’s first National Trail and is today one of the most famous and popular walks in the country. Landscape Along the Trail you can see some of the finest landscape features in upland Britain. Cove - an arc of sheer 80 metres limestone cliffs topped by a fascinating limestone pavement. - a thunderous waterfall that crashes over a shelf of Dolerite rock to a deep dark pool 21 metres below. High Cup Nick - a deep sided gorge in N the Whinstone Cliffs hemmed in by curving screes and imposing columns of Dolerite rock.
