Durham Coalfield Pennine Fringe, Upland and Upland Fring
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
This relatively high, rolling, large-scale transitional landscape lies to the east of the North Pennines, dipping down gently eastwards to the heavily settled lowlands of the Tyne and Wear valleys. A mainly rural landscape, it is heavily influenced in places by urban and industrial development and mineral working. Of the area, 7% is urban and 12% woodland. A very small percentage of the area (3%) lies in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
