About

Low Fell occupies a large residential area on the southern slope of the Team Valley, directly south of central Gateshead. The ward is primarily characterised by extensive housing, ranging from Victorian terraces to inter-war and post-war semis and detached homes. Its main thoroughfare is Durham Road, a long, straight route lined with local shops, services, and eateries that serves as the commercial spine for the community.

The area is notably green, with several sizeable parks like Saltwell Park just beyond its northern boundary and Kells Lane offering a quieter, village-like feel. A very specific local landmark is the 'Low Fell Cat', a distinctive stone carving set into a garden wall on Kells Lane. The ward provides straightforward road access to the A1, linking it to Gateshead, Newcastle, and wider Tyneside.
