Cross boundary

The North Pennines AONB is split between Cumbria (in North West England) and County Durham and Northumberland (in North East England).

The area also falls into the three counties of Cumbria, County Durham and Northumberland and the two districts of Carlisle and Eden. As a consequence there are several websites (see Web Links at the foot of this page) which include information on parts of the North Pennines AONB and European Geopark.
