The Wonderful North asks "What do you think is unique, inspiring and exciting about The North?"

Bryan and Laura Davis’ road trip documents people, places, and buildings in the North of England, an area defined for the purpose of their trip by the North West, Yorkshire and the North East Arts Council England regional boards. In the artists’ blog there are examples of communities at a point of change. The archived video footage, photographs and the artists’ musings consider topics of community, environment, identity, history, and the future in ‘The North’.

Before entering the discussions, activities, and case studies within this section first consider:

• Where is The North?
• What is The North?
• Why define it?
• Can we define it?
