 Encyclopedia: National park
National parks are usually located in places which have been largely undeveloped, and often feature areas with exceptional native animals, plants and ecosystems (particularly endangered examples of such), biodiversity, or unusual geological features.
However, the vision of the National Park was not yet complete in Yosemite, and required the efforts of John Muir to bring it to fruition.
Occasionally, national parks are declared in developed areas with the goal of returning the area to resemble its original state as closely as possible.

 Articles - Pennines
The North Pennines have been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), while portions of the Pennines are incorporated into the Peak District National Park, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Northumberland National Park.
Often said to be the "backbone of England", they form an unbroken range stretching from the Peak District in the Midlands, through the Yorkshire Dales and Lancashire and Cumbrian Fells to the Cheviot Hills on the Scottish border.
The geology of the Pennines is dominated by extensive deposits of gritstone and limestone, which in the North Pennines has led to the formation of large underground cave systems and watercourses, known as "gills" and "pots" in the local Yorkshire dialect.
