Northumberland, stretching from Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the south up to the Scottish Borders in the north, is home to many oft-contested and historic market or ford towns such as Berwick upon Tweed, Alnwick, Hexham, Amble, Morpeth and Rothbury. The county features a long and dramatic coast to the east, moorland to west and Roman ruins in the south. The area has been fought over by the Scots and English throughout the centuries and Berwick upon Tweed changed hands many times. This mentality still permeates the county and features in many local celebrations. The county is predominantly rural and features both the rolling moorland of the Cheviots and coastal castles of Lindisfarne and Bamburgh.
