About

Woolsington sits on the north-west edge of Newcastle and retains a village core and estate alongside modern development. Woolsington Hall, a listed country house, stands within its walled grounds near the estate streets and fields that give way to airport land. The parish boundary covers low-density housing, pockets of agricultural land and pockets of business units, so the feel shifts quickly from village lanes to service roads as you move toward the terminal.

Newcastle International Airport occupies much of the parish and is the area’s main landmark, with a single passenger terminal, apron and runway set beside cargo and business park facilities. The Tyne and Wear Metro serves the terminal via Airport station, and road links connect through the A696 to the city and the A1 north-south route. Flight paths and aircraft operations are a constant presence here, and the proximity of the hall’s walled estate to the airport gives the area an unusual mix of historic fabric and aviation infrastructure.
