ノーサンバーランド国立公園の山頂と展望台

Peaks and Viewpoints

This collection traverses the high ground of Northumberland National Park, from the volcanic mass of The Cheviot to the dramatic Whin Sill escarpment at Steel Rigg. It highlights the Anglo-Scottish border at Carter Bar and the Iron Age hillfort atop Yeavering Bell. These summits offer vantage points over the Simonside Hills and the remote valleys of the Cheviots, featuring geological landmarks like the Drake Stone and historic mountain passes that have shaped the border's history.
