Celebrating 60 years of the Pennine Way

The UK's oldest and "most revered" long-distance path, the Pennine Way traces Great Britain's upland spine from Derbyshire to the Scottish Borders. It offers a wonderful introduction to the "windswept, weather-beaten magnificence" of the British countryside – and this year is its 60th anniversary, said Duncan Craig in the Financial Times.

The festivities have been low-key, but there's much to celebrate – including the path's role in the historic fight for public access to our hills and moors.
