Tyne Gap and Hadrian's Wall, Upland and Upland Fringe
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
This narrow but distinctive lowland corridor, centred on the River Tyne, separates the North Pennines from the Border country. To the west lie the arable and pastoral landscapes of the Solway basin; to the east are the more densely populated Tyne and Wear lowlands. Urban area makes up 2% of the Character Area and 6% is woodland. Of the Character Area, 16% lies within the Northumberland National Park.
