Pennine Hills

The Pennine Hills are a range of mountainous terrain in northern England, often called the "Backbone of England." They stretch approximately 100 miles from the northwest to the southeast, forming a natural divide between different regions. Known for their rugged beauty, rolling uplands, and valleys, they feature features like the Pennines’ wetlands and rocky outcrops. The area is historically important for textiles and quarrying, and it offers popular outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and birdwatching. The Pennines also influence local weather patterns, often creating rain-rich conditions, and serve as a key landscape for conservation and tourism.
