| − | '''Northern England''' is a broadly-defined region of England which forms the northern part of that country. When defined using traditional counties, the North is generally said to consist of [[Cumberland]], [[County Durham]], [[Lancashire]], [[Northumberland]], [[Yorkshire]] and [[Westmorland]], with [[Cheshire]] also often being included. For statistical purposes, Northern England is made up of the combined statistical regions of [[North East England]], [[North West England]] and [[Yorkshire and the Humber]], and has a population of around 15 million; these regions are defined by local authority areas, not counties, but cover an area similar (but not identical) to those seven counties, with the addition of the north of [[Lindsey]] in [[Lincolnshire]]. | + | '''Northern England''' is a broadly-defined region of England which forms the northern part of that country.
