Eden and the Pennines

Episode 3 of 6

Julia Bradbury crosses the sparse Eden Valley and passes through the bustling outpost of Kirkby Stephen, before making a boggy climb up and over the Pennines.

Julia sets off across the Eden Valley, a sparse land today but full of signs of ancient and uncertain human habitation. Kirkby Stephen is the one bustling modern outpost on this section, the launchpad for Julia's climb up and over the Pennines. The spine of England is a landmark on the walk, but during the wettest autumn in memory it is a major, boggy challenge.
