Where Is Geordieland?
Geordieland – The Land Of The Geordies & The Heart Of North East England
Geordieland stands for “the land of the Geordie people” and the individual Geordie communities are situated in the north east of England and encompass the areas of Newcastle Upon Tyne, Gateshead, North & South Tyneside, West Durham & Northumberland which includes Tynedale & Hexham.
In this section and via our various places we will highlight the diversity of the communities, architechture, history, the people & the diverse art and culture, which all go to show what makes Geordieland just that little bit different from other areas of England & The United Kingdom.
The capital city of Geordieland is Newcastle Upon Tyne and the second major city is the City of Durham
The borders of Geordieland used to stretch from the northern town of Berwick Upon Tweed in Northumberland on the borders with Scotland, west to Kelso on the border with Cumbria and due east to the town of Middlesbrough on the border with Yorkshire and North Yorkshire.
Due to local identity pressures (check out our Geordie faq’s section for more info on this) this border has been scaled back to the north eastern seaside town of South shields which borders with the city of Sunderland.
