Where is the North Pennines?
The North Pennines AONB and Geopark is a distinctive landscape of high moorland and broad upland dales in the North of England. It shares a boundary with the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the South and extends as far as the Tyne Valley in the North. Its western boundary follows the Pennine Escarpment and in the east it grades into West Durham

Second Largest
The North Pennines is the second largest AONB (only the Cotswolds is bigger) and it is bigger than all but two of the English and Welsh National Parks (only the Lake District and Snowdonia are larger).
