Ashington Hirst is a residential area situated to the northwest of Ashington town centre. The district is characterised by terraced housing and local amenities that serve the community.

The area's history is closely linked to the coal industry, which shaped its development.

The main shopping parade along Alexandra Road meets everyday needs for residents.
