Northumberland, Ceremonial county in North East England
Northumberland extends from the Scottish border to the North Sea, featuring coastal plains, mountainous Cheviot Hills, and dense woodlands covering 5,013 square kilometers.
The region served as an essential defensive frontier during Roman times, with Hadrian's Wall stretching across its southern portion to protect Roman Britain from northern tribes.
The traditional Northumbrian smallpipes and rapper sword dance performances reflect the distinct musical and dance heritage of this northern English county.
