Repairs to be carried out to Pennine Way footpath

Wednesday, 19 April 2023 11:20

Lee Farm at Edale

A £65,000 project has started to repair a 0.6 mile stretch of footpath on the iconic Pennine Way. 

The work at Lee Farm in Edale by Derbyshire County Council will involve filling potholes and repairing drainage to provide a smoother, drier surface for walkers and riders, improving accessibility. 

At the same time, the National Trust will replace the gates along the route, which will improve access.  

The work, expected to take around four weeks to complete, is being funded thanks to a £45,000 grant from Natural England, managed and distributed by the Pennine National Trails Partnership, and £20,000 from DCC. 

Further work will take place on Jacobs Ladder, adjacent to this stretch, in September after the bird nesting season. 

The Pennine Way stretches for 268 miles from Edale to Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders.
