This is a video short of a larger project I am working on which is supported in part by the North Pennines AONB Partnership about trekking in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). If you are looking for a landscape in England that has more than just the essence of wilderness about it, then the North Pennines and Upper Teesdale in particular will certainly go a long way in meeting your needs. Such is the geological and climatic diversity of this part of the Pennines the area has actually been scientifically classified as a sub arctic region and is recognised as a European and Global Geopark. Without a doubt to walk here is to step back in time, this really does feel like England's last wilderness.

I enjoyed that, David. I was particularly impressed by the view down Teesdale from Cronkley Fell. It looks like a raw, glaciated valley, newly carved. Excellent video.

Yes it's a wonderful view from up there. This area certainly has an atmosphere that suggests the glaciers have only just receded. Geologically speaking it is true of course and when you stand up there it is easy to imagine one grinding its way down the valley. Hopefully you will have some good weather views when you head up the Green Trod later in the spring. Thanks, David
