Geordieland / The North East Heart / Breathtaking / Friendly / Passionate

Geordieland stands for "the land of the Geordie people" and the Geordie communities are situated in the north east of England, encompassing the areas of North & South Tyneside, West Durham & Northumberland which includes the newly emerging county of Tynedale & Hexham.

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.
