Edale Village

Edale is the start of the Pennine Way, which also means it's the start of one of Britain's most iconic races: The Spine. It's a wonderful base for adventurous running adventures, with the vast moorland of Kinder Scout to the north and The Great Ridge to the south. It's also easily accessed by train from both Manchester and Sheffield.

Official Start of the Pennine Way

Highlight • Pub

This will be an exciting sight for many! You could be starting the Pennine Way national long-distance walking trail with dry feet and excitement, or maybe finishing it with a big smile on your face and heading straight into the pub! Either way, it's a big milestone in Edale.

Alternatively, you might be setting off on a day walk up the glorious Kinder Scout to the north or onto the Great Ridge to the south.

Climb to Hollins Cross

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Very runnable climb to Hollins Cross (especially fun with a tail wind!) - Do keep your eyes peeled for MTB riders, but there's plenty of space for everyone. Beautiful views towards Edale on the way up and of Castleton and Hope Cement Works once you reach the top!
