Northumberland
Northumberland () is a county in North East England, and one of two counties in England which border with Scotland. A predominately rural county, Northumberland is the most sparsely-populated county in England. It is bordered by the Scottish Borders region to the north, the North Sea to the east, County Durham and Tyne and Wear to the south, and Cumbria to the west. The historic county town is Morpeth. The county is noted for its undeveloped landscape of high moorland, now largely protected as the Northumberland National Park. The North Sea to the east of the county runs 103 kilometres (64 mi) along its coastline. Lying south of the Anglo-Scottish border, Northumberland has been the site of a number of historic battles.
The county is locally governed as a unitary authority by Northumberland County Council, headquartered in Morpeth. County administration included Newcastle upon Tyne until 1400 when the city became a county corporate. Newcastle remained within Northumberland until 1974, when it became a part of the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear.
