The Trans Pennine Trail is a long distance path in England, running largely along disused railway lines and canal towpaths, entirely on surface paths and only gentle gradients. As such, it is a very easy trail, and is suitable for cyclists, pushchairs and wheelchair users.
TransPennineTrail Officer Les Ford and Chair of the Project received the Award from Linda Barker at a special BBC 1 programme 'Everyone's a Winner', to celebrate National Lottery Day on Saturday 23 September.
The TPT is an exciting new route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders that links the North and Irish seas.
Finally the fact that the TPT exists at all is down to the hard work and joint collaboration of many organisations and individuals.
The LongdendaleTrail is a Long-distance trail that runs a distance of approximately 6.5 miles (10.4Km) from Hadfield[?], Derbyshire to Woodhead Tunnel[?].
The route follows the line of the former Manchester to Sheffield railway and has shallow gradients and a smooth surface that make the it popular with families and cyclists.
The LongdendaleTrail forms part of the longer TransPennineTrail[?] that runs from coast to coast across the UK (Liverpool to Hull).
