Covering an area of some 1,942 square miles Northumberland has
a population of 310,000.
This is not to say that Northumberland is anything but a naturally
lovely, if at times wild, county.
Other main towns in the county are Berwick-upon-Tweed, which has
changed hands between England and Scotland numerous times over the
centuries and has it's local football team playing in the Scottish
League, and Hexham.
Among the phyiscal feature Northumberland has to offer are the
Cheviot Hills, the rivers Tweed and upper Tyne of Northumberland
National Park, Holy Island and part of Hadrian's Wall. Northumberland,
due to it's location, has the distinction of having the greatest
number of castles of any of the British counties. The original kingdom
of Northumbria was heavily influenced by the raiders from Scandinavia
in the Dark Ages.
Today's Northumberland lists Sheep farming as it's highest earning
productive source.
Once part of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria, Northumberland
found itself torn into Northumberland and Tyne and Wear thanks to
the government redrawing of county boundaries in 1974. The new county
obviously deriving its name from the two major rivers of the region.
Tyne and Wear is centred on the cities of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and
Sunderland with the town of Morpeth being awarded the honour of
being the adminstration centre for the 'new' Northumberland.
Hence the county now covers some 1943 square miles nestled quite
comfortably south of the Anglo-Scottish border.
Although nearly nine times larger than the newer county of Tyne
and Wear it has a population of just under a quarter of that of
the metropolitan cousin.
