Charles Phythian-Adams's chapter in Northumbria: History and Identity AD 547-2000 applies a theory he's no doubt expressed elsewhere - that there are three Britains, 'archipelago' (Scotland, Wales, Ireland [insofar as it is 'British'] and the northernmost counties of England - Northumberland, Durham, Cumberland, Westmorland - plus Cornwall), 'continental' (England south-east of the Severn-Wash line) and 'littoral' (the rest of England). The further away from continental Britain one goes, the greater the appreciation of pluralities of identity.
