A mountain range that runs north to south through northern England, forming the watershed between the North Sea and the Irish Sea. The name is thought to come from the Celtic word pen (meaning "high"). It stretches for about 220 km from the Tyne River lowlands near the border with Scotland to the Peak District in the northern Midlands, and is a hilly mountain range with an altitude of 300 to 500 m. The geology consists of limestone, siliceous sandstone, and coal seams from the Carboniferous period of the Paleozoic era, and it has an anticline structure as a result of the Hercynian orogeny.
