About

Heaton ward lies northeast of Newcastle's city centre, stretching from the Ouseburn Valley up towards the Coast Road. Its residential streets are characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, interspersed with local shopping parades, pubs, and cafes. The area is a mix of longer-term residents and a significant student population, drawn by its proximity to universities. Jesmond Dene, a steep-sided wooded valley with a burn, paths, and a petting zoo, forms a large green corridor along its western edge.

The ward is well-served by several bus routes along its main thoroughfares, Chillingham Road and Heaton Road. Heaton Park and its associated hall offer formal green space with sports facilities. The Ouseburn area at its southern tip contains creative workspaces, music venues, and microbreweries within former industrial buildings. Architectural variety includes everything from large villas near the park to more modest terraces, reflecting its historical development as a Victorian suburb.
