The Cheviot, Volcanic summit in Northumberland, England
The Cheviot reaches 815 meters in elevation, featuring a triangular plateau covered with peat surfaces and offering views toward Lake District and Scottish peaks.
The formation of The Cheviot occurred through intense volcanic activity over 390 million years ago, resulting in a stratovolcano that erosion reduced significantly over time.
The name Cheviot first appeared in written records from 1181, suggesting a Brittonic origin that refers to the geographical characteristics of the ridge.
Visitors can access the summit through the Pennine Way trail or by following routes that begin at the Harthope Burn on the northeast side.
During World War II, multiple aircraft crashes occurred around The Cheviot, with local inhabitants providing assistance to surviving crew members.
