About

Chopwell and Rowlands Gill ward lies in the westernmost part of the Gateshead borough, bordering Northumberland and County Durham. The area is defined by its position within the Derwent Valley, with the River Derwent forming a natural boundary. Land use is primarily residential, with settlements scattered across the landscape, alongside significant tracts of woodland and former agricultural land. The ward's geography creates a distinct separation from Gateshead's urban core.

The area contains extensive areas of the Chopwell Wood, a large mixed woodland managed by Forestry England. Former mining villages, including Chopwell itself, form the main population centres. The Tanfield Railway, a heritage line, operates in the area. Local infrastructure centres on the A694 road, which connects the settlements. The landscape is characterised by its steep valleys and proximity to the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
