Blaydon North & Winlaton Mill

About

Blaydon North & Winlaton Mill sits within the western outskirts of Gateshead, where the River Derwent flows into the Tyne. The area is characterised by a mix of residential streets and former industrial land, with pockets of open green space along the riverbanks. The landscape is shaped by the steep wooded valley of the Derwent, which separates it from neighbouring communities.

A key local landmark is the Winlaton Mill, a restored 18th-century corn mill that gives the southern part of the area its name. The Derwent Walk Country Park and its former railway line provide a traffic-free route through the valley, popular for walking and cycling. Housing is primarily inter-war and post-war, with some newer developments on reclaimed land.
