The Pennines /ˈpɛnaɪnz/ are a range of mountains and hills in Northern England separating North West England from Yorkshire and North East England.
Often described as the "backbone of England", the Pennine hills form a more-or-less continuous range stretching northwards from the Peak District in Derbyshire, around the northern and eastern edges of Lancashire and Greater Manchester, through the Yorkshire Dales past the Cumbrian Fells to the Cheviot Hills on the Anglo-Scottish border. North of the Aire Gap, the Pennines' western spur into North Lancashire forms the Bowland Fells, and south of the gap is a spur into east Lancashire, comprising the Rossendale Fells and West Pennine Moors. The Pennines are an important water catchment area with numerous reservoirs in the head streams of the river valleys.
The region is widely considered to be one of the most scenic areas of the United Kingdom. The North Pennines and Nidderdale are designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), as are Bowland and Pendle Hill. Parts of the Pennines are incorporated into the Peak District National Park, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Northumberland National Park. Britain's oldest long-distance footpath, the Pennine Way, runs along most of the Pennine chain and is 268 miles (429 km) long.

Envisioned fear
I dream of you
My time is drawing near
To bring me through
Are you heaven sent?
Or a messenger from hell?
How can I tell?
How can I tell?
Sweetly smiling
Or mocking jest
Tenderly beguiling
As I await my final breath
This time I've crossed the line for good
Won't go back even if I could
Now I have all the answers
But I can't tell
