From the Wikipedia article
The North Pennines are the northernmost section of the Pennines, a range of hills which run north–south through northern England. They run along the border between County Durham and Northumberland in the east and Cumbria in the west, and are bounded to the north by the Tyne Valley and to the south by the Stainmore Gap. Much of the region is moorland, and it contains significant industrial archaeology. The North Pennines have been designated a national landscape and a UNESCO Global Geopark. Several major rivers rise in the North Pennines, including the Tees and Wear. The part of the area in County Durham, including Teesdale and Weardale, is known as the Durham Dales.
