where are the pennines

The Pennines are a range of hills in northern England , often called the “backbone of England.”

Where they are

• They run roughly north–south through England, from the Peak District in Derbyshire and Staffordshire up to Northumberland near the border with Scotland.

• On a map, they sit between the lowlands around Manchester and Lancashire to the west and Yorkshire and the Vale of York to the east.

Nearby areas and landmarks

• Key regions along the Pennines include the Peak District, South Pennines, Yorkshire Dales, and North Pennines.

• The range is separated from the Cheviot Hills and Border Moors by the Tyne Gap to the north, where some definitions consider those northern hills an extension of the Pennines.
