Currock Hill : ウィキペディア英語版 | Currock Hill
Currock Hill is a hill in Tyne and Wear, England, which at 259 m (850 ft) is the highest in the county, and in the metropolitan borough of Gateshead. The name ‘currock’ comes from the Celtic word for a cairn or a stack of stones, a development of the word for a rock, ''carroc'', and is still widely used in the North East. ==Geography== It is situated between the villages of Chopwell and Hedley on the Hill, on the border with Northumberland to the east of Newcastle upon Tyne. The hill forms part of the watershed divide between the catchments of the River Tyne to the north and the Derwent to the south. The panorama from the hill is considered to have ''commanding views towards the Pennines and Tyne Valley to the West, the Cheviot Hills to the North with Tyneside and North Sea Coast to the East.''〔
