Felling

About

Felling ward sits on the southern bank of the River Tyne, directly opposite central Newcastle. Its landscape is defined by a steep slope rising sharply from the riverside, with residential streets and local amenities arranged across the incline. The area contains a mix of housing, from older terraces to modern developments, alongside several green spaces that offer views across the water.

A central feature is The Staiths, a substantial riverside public park built on the site of former coal staiths, with its long promenade and industrial heritage markers. The ward is connected by the Tyne pedestrian and cycle tunnels to Howdon, providing a direct subterranean link under the river. Felling's local high street serves the community with independent shops and essential services.
