Gosforth

Gosforth is a largely residential ward located directly north of Newcastle upon Tyne's city centre. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to larger detached homes, alongside modern apartment developments. Its main commercial hub is centred along Gosforth High Street, which provides a range of shops, supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants serving the local community. The ward also contains several primary schools and is home to Newcastle's Royal Grammar School.

The area includes significant green spaces such as the Town Moor, a large common land used for grazing and recreation, and Gosforth Central Park with its sports facilities. It is well-connected by the Tyne and Wear Metro, with stations at South Gosforth and Regent Centre. A notable local feature is the presence of the Gosforth Nature Reserve, a protected urban wetland habitat that offers walking trails through ancient woodland and fenland ecosystems.
