Most parts of the Pennines are sparsely populated, with few significant towns. The rural Pennines are characterised by small, stone-built market towns, with good examples being Alston in Cumberland, [[Barnard Castle]] in County Durham, [[Buxton]] in Derbyshire and Richmond in Yorkshire, which boasts an impressive Norman castle. The Pennines, however, boasts a handful of medium and large towns, primarily in the foothills. These include Consett in County Durham, the Yorkshire towns [[Barnsley]], [[Halifax]] [[Huddersfield]], numerous Lancashire towns including Burnley and Rochdale as well as [[Stockport]] in Cheshire. Several major cities also have parts within the lowlands of the Pennines, including [[Bradford]], [[Leeds]], [[Manchester]], [[Sheffield]] and [[Stoke-on-Trent]].

A bleak and sparsely inhabited region, most parts of Pennines are predominantly a [[sheep]]-farming area, though historically a number of mines operated in the range and their remains can still be seem in places.
