Current Diversions and Closures

Please click on the appropriate link for details of closures and diversions affecting the route in the area of the Trail that you are planning to visit:

Aftermath of Flooding during 2007 and 2008 - the severe weather experienced across Britain badly affected many sections of the Trans Pennine Trail. The most seriously effected sections were in South Yorkshire (Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham districts). Repairs have been  and continue to be carried out as and when funding is available.  The Trail is open, but some sections are rougher than they should be but still passable with care and one section in Leeds still has a diversion route in place. Full details of these are listed in under the relevant areas.
