Cheviot Fringe (/ˈtʃiːviət/ CHEE-vee-ət) is a geographical region and a Natural England designated National Character Area (or NCA) located in the county Northumberland in northern England.
[2] The A697 is the only major road going through the region, with Wooler being its largest town.
Like Northumbria in general, Cheviot Fringe is relatively dispersed in settlement and has a strong tradition of farming and shepherding.
The northern part of the region is more arable versus the south, where sheep raising is more common on its grasslands.
[3] The northern part of the NCA straddles the Anglo-Scottish border and is therefore populated by many forts and castles from the Medieval Era.
