River South Tyne
The River South Tyne rises high in the North Pennines at Tynehead Fell in Cumbria and flows in a roughly north-easterly direction to Warden Rock, near Hexham, where it joins the River North Tyne to form the River Tyne. The valley of the South Tyne is sometimes called the 'Tyne Gap'. Settlements along the River South Tyne include Garrigill, Alston, Slaggyford, Knarsdale, Lambley, Haltwhistle, Melkridge, Redburn, Bardon Mill, Haydon Bridge, Newbrough and Fourstones.
