About

The Fens, Elwick & Hart is a primarily residential area on the western edge of Hartlepool. It encompasses suburban housing developments alongside the older village settlements of Elwick and Hart. The landscape is characterised by open, flat farmland, reflecting the area's position bordering the wider North East countryside.

This green corridor cuts through the area, providing a direct link for walking and cycling into the town centre. The rural village of Elwick, with its historic church and village green, offers a distinct contrast to the modern housing estates.
