The Old North

The Old North (Welsh: Yr Hen Ogledd) is a term used in Wales to refer to Cumbry and other parts of northern England and southern Scotland which formed the setting for some of Wales’ oldest literature and folklore. As an affectionate and somewhat romantic term it has been borrowed into Cumbraek as Er Hen Wogledh.
