In fact, there are at least three rivers flowing through the northeast of England, each one of which could be defined as 'major'. From north to south, these are the Tyne (Newcastle upon Tyne is located on its northern bank), the Wear (runs through Durham and Sunderland) and the Tees (Middlesborough is located on its southern bank).

These three rivers (which partly give name to the region of Tyne and Wear) can be said to be major as they are or were all sites of important industrial activity such as shipbuilding and the transporting of heavy goods.

The river Tweed, essentially a Scottish river (a major river for salmon fishing), flows into the sea at Berwick-upon-Tweed, the northernmost English town. In this limited sense, it can also be said to flow through the northeast of England.
