The Trans Pennine Trail is a long-distance path running from coast to coast across Northern England entirely on surfaced paths and using only gentle gradients, running largely along disused railway lines and canal towpaths.

The route begins at Southport and ends in Hornsea. Work started in 1999 and was completed in 2004.
