About

Heworth sits in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead on the south bank of the River Tyne, east of Gateshead town centre. The area is largely residential, with a mix of housing and short runs of shops and services along the main roads. Heworth Park provides open space with playing fields and a children's playground, and local teams use the pitches at weekends. Heworth Metro station gives regular connections across the Tyne to Gateshead and Newcastle, so many journeys into the city are by rail rather than car.

Community life revolves around schools, churches and a community centre that hosts clubs and events through the year. Small parades of shops and a few pubs serve daily needs, while larger retail and leisure options are a short trip away in Gateshead town centre. Footpaths and quiet streets make the area walkable, and the park fields and green verges are a regular meeting place for sports and school groups.
