Trans Pennine Trail Walker User Code

Follow these sensible rules in our User Code to enjoy the Trans Pennine Trail and help others do the same.  

Everyone

• If using a segregated section keep to your signed side of the Trail.  
• Be aware of others around you and do not occupy the whole width of the path. Leave room for others to pass by easily
• If you’re wearing headphones, please keep the volume low and stay aware of your surroundings so others can pass safely.
• Take extra care where the Trail crosses roads, near train lines and other busy areas.  
• Do not leave litter anywhere except in a suitable bin. If no bins are available, take your litter home and dispose of it there. Reduce fire risk by safely disposing of lighters, matches or cigarette ends. 
• E-scooters (unless part of an approved scheme using on-road sections only), motorbikes, modified e-bikes and other unauthorised vehicles are not allowed. If you see people using these on the Trail please report direct to the police via their online reporting methods. 
• Cyclists should give way to horse riders on bridleways. 
• Be mindful of all users’ needs and abilities whilst on the Trail.  

Dog Walkers

• Please pick up after your dog and put it in a bin. If no bins are available, take you dog waster home and dispose of it there. Dog waste ruins the Trail and nearby areas for other people and is a health hazard. 
• Please keep dogs under close control and in sight. It is better to use a short lead, especially on highly populated sections and near farm animals and horses.
