The Big Quiz of the North: 23 tricky trivia questions to test your knowledge of the region

Think you know the North East?

You might know your stotties from your steak bakes; be able to identify the Angel of the North from a mile off in fog and, unlike half the UK at the moment, be able to pronounce 'Barnard Castle' correctly.

But that's the easy stuff.

We've combed the North East's history, sport and pop culture to create this head-scratching quiz, with a few questions which should have even the region's proudest locals racking their brains. We've picked out a few of the most interesting, unusual or unlikely facts we could find to make it a real challenge.

Our questions will test your knowledge of the whole region, from Newcastle to Sunderland and Northumberland to Durham. We hope they'll keep you entertained - and perhaps teach you something new about the fantastic place we all call home.

Think you're up to the challenge? Give our quiz a go and challenge your friends to see if they can beat your score.

Share your scores - or interesting bits of regional trivia that we could have included - in the comments below.

If you're struggling you might find a few clues here and here.

Good luck!
