Gunnerside Beck in Yorkshire

Pennines The Pennines are a mountain range reaching from the Peak District of Derbyshire northward to the Tyne Gap in Northumberland, beyond which rise the Cheviots. The Pennines form the watershed between the west and the east. These fells are described as "the Backbone of England". A long more-or-less continuous chain, the Pennines include the Peak District of Derbyshire, then much of the western parts of the Yorkshire, becoming the source of many of the becks which form the rivers which carve the great Yorkshire Dales and the dramatic Forest of Bowland, and northward the Durham Dales. The Pennines form a substantial physical barrier between the towns of Yorkshire and Lancashire. (Read more)
