8. SOUTH-EAST DISTEICT. 



This district includes an area of about 300 square miles, a 

 large proportion of which belongs to the Coal country, and only a 

 small portion at the south-western corner rises above the Lower 

 zone. Prom the point where the ISTorth and South Tyne join 

 and Hexham stands like an old Ehino city on a hill that rises 

 from the south bank of the river, over-topped by the massive 

 grey towers of its church and castle, the distance to the mouth 

 of the river is 30 miles. At Hexham there is a bridge of twelve 

 arches, and the stream is 100 feet above sea-level. The first 

 stream on the south is called the Devil's Water and joins the 

 Tyne at Corbridge. It has two long branches on the west called 

 the Eowley "Water and Dipton Burn, and the ridge in the direc- 

 tion of Allendale is distinctly marked, attaining 1200 feet towards 

 the head of the stream and maintaining a height of 600 or 500 

 feet within a short distance of Hexham. From the last 6 miles, 

 from the foot of Dukesfield Common past Woolley and Dilston, 

 the main branch has its banks wooded almost continuously, and 

 parallel with the Tyne, at a height of above 400 feet, a long
