About

Windy Nook and Whitehills is a residential ward in the Borough of Gateshead, north-west of the town centre. The neighbourhood sits on higher ground that gives clear views across Tyneside and has a name that reflects the exposed ridge and frequent breezes. Housing is a mix of late 19th- and 20th-century terraces and later estates, with local shops, primary schools and a community centre forming the core of daily life. Regular bus services connect the area to Gateshead, Newcastle and the Tyne and Wear Metro network, and local footpaths link green spaces and playing fields.

The area’s industrial past shaped its street pattern and housing, with traces of coal-mining heritage in records and older buildings. Community groups use allotments and recreation grounds for events and sport, and small parades of shops serve nearby streets. For visitors and residents the combination of raised ground and short distances to town services makes Windy Nook and Whitehills principally residential but well connected to the rest of Gateshead.
