Synopsis
A set of three official guide maps cover 350 miles of the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT), the country's first purpose built, national multi-user route. It runs coast to coast between the ports of Liverpool and Hull and the seaside resorts of Southport and Hornsea, crossing the Peak District National Park. Towns and cities across the North of England are connected including Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Chesterfield and York. Walkers and cyclists can use the whole Trail with horse riders too on many sections. Easy gradients and surfaced paths make much of the Trail suitable for people using wheelchairs or puschairs. Lots of the TPT is traffic free providing a great facility for families. The Trail forms the English section of European Long Distance Footpath Number 8 (E8), a walking route from the west of Ireland right across Europe to reach Istanbul when E8 is eventually complete. The TPT also links into the National Cycle Network. Trans Pennine Trail Yorkshire - North Sea (Map 3 - East) This third map shows the walkers', cyclists and horse riders' routes on the eastern section of the TPT from Doncaster to the City of Hull and ending at the seaside resort of Hornsea. This map also covers the northern TPT extension from Selby to York.
