Northumberland

Northumberland

Northumberland is the northernmost ceremonial county and a unitary authority area in North East England. It borders Cumbria to the west, County Durham to the south and Tyne and Wear to the southeast and the Scottish Borders council area to the north. Its North Sea coastline is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a 64-mile long distance path. The traditional county town was Alnwick. Since 1981, the county council has been located in Morpeth, situated in the east of the county. Northumberland included Newcastle upon Tyne until 1400 when the city became a county of itself. Northumberland expanded greatly in the Tudor period, annexing Berwick-upon-Tweed in 1482, Tynedale in 1495, Tynemouth in 1536, Redesdale in ca. 1542 and Hexhamshire in 1572. Islandshire, Bedlingtonshire and Norhamshire – previously exclaves of County Durham collectively called North Durham – were incorporated into Northumberland in 1844. Tynemouth and other settlements in North Tyneside were transferred to Tyne and Wear in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972.
