Miles upon miles of wild coast and expansive beaches; ancient castles clinging to cliffs; rolling fells and jutting crags threaded through by a Roman Wall; woodlands of special scientific interest, other woodlands of zero scientific interest, man-made woodlands planted on scales hard to imagine; ancient roads linking sleepy villages, dotted along seams of coal and lead long since abandoned; the mighty Tyne, slowly rolling, its mammoth valley dictating the direction of the county for millenia. Northumberland; all of these things and more, and neither nowt nor something.
