1 Best Sight in Manchester, Liverpool, and the Peak District, England

The 250-mile-long Pennine Way starts in the village of Edale, 4 miles northeast of Castleton, and crosses Kinder Scout, a moorland plateau and nature reserve. If you plan to attempt this, seek local advice first, because bad weather can make the walk treacherous. However, several much shorter routes into the Edale Valley, such as the 8-mile route west to Hayfield, give you a taste.
