ills, a mountain range extending from NE. to SW. between England and Scotland, partly in Northumberland and partly in Roxburghshire, but mostly in the former. They afford excellent pasture for sheep, and give name to a valuable and peculiar breed of that animal. The Cheviot peak, 2684 feet high, is in Northumberland, on the borders of Roxburghshire, 8 miles S.W. of Wooler. These hills were the scene of many bloody contests between the English and Scotch, one of which is recorded in the celebrated ballad of "Chevy Chase."
