The Pennine chain stretches approximately between valleys the River Trent in the south and the River Tyne in the north, where the "Tyne Gap" separates the range from the [[Cheviot Hills]]. In the east, the part of the range containing the Yorkshire Dales is bound by the Vale of Mowbray, a plain separating them from the [[North York Moors]]. The range is bound in the north-west by the valleys of the River Eden and River Lune, both of which partially form a natural boundary with the [[Lake District]].
    
Occasionally, the Cheviot Hills, which straddle the border between England and Scotland, are included in more broad definitions of the range. However, they are of mainly [[Igneous rock|igneous]] origin, making them geologically distinct from the largely limestone (sedimentary) rocks of the Pennines.
