Various etymologies have proposed treating "Pennine" as a native Brittonic/Modern Welsh name related to pen- ("head").

The nature and origin of cyclothems have been much discussed, and it appears that no single explanation will suffice. Many cycles are local upward-coarsening lake-fill deposits, and the only external mechanism needed to produce them is continuous subsidence. Others, notably those containing marine faunas, can be correlated over large areas and were probably caused by changes of sea level, which in turn were related to fluctuations in the polar ice sheets and ultimately to cyclical variations in the amount of heat received from the sun. Flora and fauna For those wary of walking the Pennine Way in one go, a few towns and villages along the route are suitable for rest days. The larger and better connected towns include Hebden Bridge, Haworth, Hawes, Middleton-in-Teesdale, Alston and Bellingham.
