National Park Campaign
The South Pennines is now the only upland area in England that is not subject to a statutory landscape desigantion as either a National Park or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It was originally considered for National Park status in 1949 by the Hobhouse Report, but was ultimately rejected.

In 2011, the South Pennines Campaign Network was established, which is an online campaign began to achieve National Park status for the area.
