The Roof of England Walk

The Roof of England Walk is a 14-day walking route – an exciting journey around the North Pennines National Landscape and UNESCO Global Geopark.

The Roof of England Walk will take you to the far-flung corners of the North Pennines. From high-level traverses across the moor tops and strolls through colourful hay meadows to relaxing riverside walking and woodland stretches – this route has plenty to offer.

Discover the area’s rich mining and industrial heritage and immerse yourself in its glorious nature. Experience unrivalled peace and tranquillity and marvel at sparkling clear, inky-black, night skies.

Feel the wind on your face and the touch of northern rain – we have ‘proper’ weather in the North Pennines. Hear the dramatic and evocative calls of golden plover, curlew and lapwings as they bring the moors alive again in the springtime.
