The River South Tyne rises (as Black Burn) on [[Cross Fell]], [[Cumberland]], within a mile of the springs of two other major northern rivers - the [[River Tees]] and the [[River Eden]]. It flows northwards through [[Alston]], the highest market town in England, turning eastwards near [[Haltwhistle]] before meeting the North Tyne at Warden. | The River South Tyne rises (as Black Burn) on [[Cross Fell]], [[Cumberland]], within a mile of the springs of two other major northern rivers - the [[River Tees]] and the [[River Eden]].
