		Long Distance Footpaths Britain is blessed with a rich variety of long distance footpaths.
		Occasionally, a long distance footpath will follow an extremely useful route, but only if the route was extremely useful several centuries ago.

	Brecon Beacons National Park
		It is a long distance footpath concept devised in the C20th for the C21th.
		The walking approach this design is intended to encourage is to move away from seeing a long distance footpath as a purely head down physical challenge and to encourage an approach based less on counting mileage and more on exploration and understanding.
		It is 88km or 55 miles long though this figure is deceiving as there are many community or circular routes that link into the linear route which itself may have more than one route running parallel at certain points.

	Roy Turner's film 'THE PENNINE WAY'
		It follows the first long-distance footpath in Britain from Edale in the Derbyshire Peak District to Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders, a distance of around 270 miles through the most wild and dramatic scenery in Northern England.
		After the long, 29-mile crossing of the Cheviots this view of the village green of Kirk Yetholm, in the Scottish Borders about six miles south of Kelso, must be one of the most welcome sights on the walk.
		I would say without hesitation that the most picturesque and dramatic section is between Middleton-in-Teesdale and Dufton.
