Fringe and Boundary
The outer boundary of Greater Manchester, roughly 130 miles (209 km), "passes through or near several areas of natural beauty". To the northwest are the West Pennine Moors, and to the north and northeast the South Pennines. Parts of the Peak District National Park also cover the east and south east of Greater Manchester.
