'''County Durham''', the "Land of the Prince Bishops", is a county in the North East of [[England]]. It is bordered by [[Northumberland]] to the north, with the mouth of the [[River Tyne]] partially forming the border, the North Sea to the east, with its border with [[Yorkshire]] to the south and west following the [[River Tees]], bordering [[Westmorland]] and [[Cumberland]] across the [[Pennines]] to the north west. Historically, the Bishop of Durham ruled the county as his personal principality, a custom only ended in 1836.
