Transpennine Crossings

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

This is a list of notable hill crossings in the Pennines. These can be major West-East transpennine routes, or a route between valleys or dales. Some of the routes do not form a hill pass in the traditional sense, but are added for completeness.

The listing is ordered roughly from North to South along the Pennine Chain.
