The North Pennines
LANDSCAPE CHARACTER THE NORTH PENNINES The North Pennines The North Pennines The North Pennines Countryside Character Area County Boundary Key characteristics • An upland landscape of high moorland ridges and plateaux divided by broad pastoral dales. • Alternating strata of Carboniferous limestones, sandstones and shales give the topography a stepped, horizontal grain. • Millstone Grits cap the higher fells and form distinctive flat-topped summits. Hard igneous dolerites of the Great Whin Sill form dramatic outcrops and waterfalls. • Broad ridges of heather moorland and acidic grassland and higher summits and plateaux of blanket bog are grazed by hardy upland sheep. • Pastures and hay meadows in the dales are bounded by dry stone walls, which give way to hedgerows in the lower dale. • Tree cover is sparse in the upper and middle dale. Hedgerow and field trees and tree-lined watercourses are common in the lower dale. • Woodland cover is low. Upland ash and oak-birch woods are found in river gorges and dale side gills, and larger conifer plantations in the moorland fringes. • The settled dales contain small villages and scattered farms. Buildings have a strong vernacular character and are built of local stone with roofs of stone flag or slate. • The landscape is scarred in places by mineral workings with many active and abandoned limestone and whinstone quarries and the relics of widespread lead workings. • An open landscape, broad in scale, with panoramic views from higher ground to distant ridges and summits. • The landscape of the moors is remote, natural and elemental with few man made features and a near wilderness quality in places.

The Lake District and Yorkshire Dales: Refuges from the Real World?
The Lake District and Yorkshire Dales: Refuges from the Real World? Ian Whyte Abstract: The uplands of Northern England contain iconic landscapes which are known worldwide. The eighteenth-century movements of the Picturesque and Roman- ticism placed them centre-stage in terms of influencing landscape aesthetics. The fame of the Lake District in particular generated a growing tourist industry throughout the nineteenth century which placed increasing pressure on the landscape and gener- ated a conservationism movement which again had a much wider than local influence. Out of the tensions between visitors and conservation arose the system of national parks that developed in England and Wales after the Second World War. Key names and concepts: Daniel Defoe - Thomas Gray - Edmund Burke - Claude Lorrain - William Gilpin - William Wordsworth - John Ruskin - Beatrix Potter; Northern Uplands - Lake District - Conservation - Landscape Aesthetics - Picturesque - Claude Glasses - National Trust - ‘Foot and Mouth’ Disease - Windfarms - World Heritage. 1. Introduction The uplands of Northern England encompass a wide variety of land- scapes reflecting distinctive physical and human geographies. Some of these landscapes are iconic; instantly recognisable and world famous, like the Lake District. Others, such as the limestone pavements of the Yorkshire Dales, are less well known globally but are nevertheless still dramatic. This is reflected in the degree of protection given to the landscapes of these areas. This includes designations as national parks (the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland), Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the North Pennines, Forest of Bowland and Arnside-Silverdale area) as well as many Sites of Special Scien- tific Interest (SSSIs) and nature reserves.
