North East

The North East Region is an area of outstanding natural beauty, including Northumberland National Park, Teesdale, Weardale and a beautiful coastline. The urology services extend to Carlisle and the northern Lake District. The area has two National Heritage sites, Hadrian's Wall and Durham Cathedral.

The major urban centres are Tyneside, Wearside & Teesside, based on the coal and ship-building industries which once dominated the area.
