About

Ryton sits on the western edge of Gateshead, bordering the Tyne Valley and Northumberland. The area is primarily residential, with housing ranging from older terraces to modern estates. It functions as a commuter settlement for Newcastle upon Tyne, with good road links via the A695. The local landscape is characterised by the sloping terrain down towards the River Tyne, with pockets of woodland and open green spaces integrated into the community.

A central feature is Ryton Village Green, a large, open common area that hosts annual events like the Goose Fair. The area includes several local shops, schools, and sports facilities catering to daily needs. To the south, the land rises towards the Crookedhill and Westernhope areas, offering views across the valley. The presence of the historic St. Mary's Church, with parts dating to the 12th century, anchors the older settlement core alongside the more recent residential expansion.
