Pennines
Pennines or Pennine Hills, extensive range of hills, northern England, extending south from the Cheviot Hills on the southern border of Scotland to the Midland Plain of England. In the north-west, the Eden Valley separates the Pennines from the Lake District. In the south, the chain is broken by the Aire River, which traverses it in a general north-western to south-eastern direction, forming the Aire Gap. The Pennines cover parts of Northumberland; Cumbria; Durham; Lancashire; North, West, and South Yorkshire; Derbyshire; and Cheshire. The southern foothills extend into Nottinghamshire and Staffordshire. The highest point, Cross Fell, is 893 m (2,930 ft) above sea level. Many rivers drain the area, especially on the eastern side, most of them ultimately flowing into the Humber, Tees, or Tyne.
Sheep farming is the dominant land use, with tourism also playing an important role; the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, and Northumberland National Parks all take in parts of the Pennines. In 1965 the Pennine Way, a 400-km (250-mi) footpath, was established along the length of the Pennines, from the Vale of Edale in the Peak District, Derbyshire, to Kirk Yetholm in Borders, Scotland.

Malvern Hills
Malvern Hills, range of hills in western central England, stretching about 12 km (7.4 mi) north to south along the old border of Herefordshire and Worcestershire (they are now one county). The Herefordshire Beacon reaches a height of 340 m (1,114 ft), the Worcestershire Beacon 425 m (1,395 ft), and (also on the Worcestershire side), the North Hill 398 m (1,307 ft). The Malvern Hills are mostly heathland on a ridge of granite, quarried in places for building stone. Remains of an ancient British camp have been found on Herefordshire Beacon and the range's name derives from the Celtic moel bryn, “bare hill”. The hills were the setting of the 14th-century poem Piers Plowman by William Langland, and in the late 19th century were the birthplace and continual inspiration of the composer Edward Elgar.
