About

The Old Town centres around the historic Headland, a distinct peninsula jutting into the North Sea. Its narrow, winding streets are lined with 18th and 19th-century fishermen's cottages, leading to the ancient St Hilda's Church and the Town Walls. The area is dominated by the Heugh Breakwater and the working port, with constant maritime activity along the docks.

Directly south lies the Grange estate, a primarily residential area of interwar and post-war terraced housing. The two areas are separated by the railway line and the expansive Ward Jackson Park, which provides green space with formal gardens and a boating lake. The whole locality is defined by its coastal exposure and the sound of seagulls.
