Nestled in the heart of the Peak District, Edale is a picturesque village and the gateway to some of the UK’s most stunning hiking trails. Best known as the starting point of the Pennine Way, it offers breath taking landscapes, rolling hills, and rugged moorland that make it a dream destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

Our accommodation for the trip will be in 4-bed and 6-bed dorms, exclusive to our group. If you’re booking with a friend let us know and we’ll make sure you get a room together.
