The Peak District is under Leicester, Nottingham and East Midlands.
The Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors are under Leeds, Sheffield and Yorkshire.
The Lake District is under Manchester, Liverpool and North-West
Northumberland National Park is not listed separately but is found within Northumberland in Newcastle and North-East

Lastly the designated area of the New Forest, which will be a national park shortly is in the South-East.
