Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear on a public listing (OpenStreetMap, the National Trail, Sherpa Van or Pitchup) but could not be confirmed as open on their own website. Tan Hill, Langdon Beck and Byrness have only one or two places, Crowden and Standedge have beds only off the trail (Glossop, Marsden, Delph), and many small places close in winter: book ahead, especially from May to September.
