Northumberland Sandstone Hills, Upland and Upland Fringe
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The Northumberland Sandstone Hills extend in a wide, north–south arc across the county, separating the vales of the Cheviot Fringe from the Northumberland coastal plain. A plateau landscape, covered mainly by moorland and improved pasture, this small Character Area also includes a wide range of other landscape features. Less than 1% is urban area and almost 15% is forested. Of the area, 15% (the Simonside Hills in the south) lies in the Northumberland National Park.
