Woodland Edge

Woodland Edge joins the green boundary of Killingworth Village, enjoying a frame of neighbouring countryside to the development, while residents also benefit from the established and abundant amenities of Killingworth and Forest Hall.

The development is located just off the B1317, a useful connector, with the A19 a four-minute drive away, and the A1 just 10 minutes away. The development is also well linked by local bus routes and a nearby metro stop, meaning journeys into the city centre and to the coast are simple and convenient.

This development falls under the administration of North Tyneside Council.

Residents of Woodland Edge will find green spaces in the surrounding landscape including East Bailey Park, Rising Sun Country Park, and Lakeside Park. The latter is also the site of The Lakeside Centre – a leisure centre with swimming pools, a gym, exercise classes, sport facilities, and a children’s soft play.

The development’s location is perfect for journeys to the coast, with beaches in Tynemouth, Cullercoats, and Whitley Bay running adjacent to the city around seven miles away. The Northumberland coastline offers miles of additional beaches to explore including Beadnell Bay and Bamburgh.

Boasting a proud industrial heritage, Newcastle’s vibrant centre showcases historic architecture with contemporary contrast; protected Georgian buildings line the Quayside opposite to magnificent industrial bridges, and modern projects along Gateshead’s banks such as The Glasshouse. There is a wealth of culture to be discovered throughout the city, including award-winning museums, historic theatres, art galleries, and popular music venues.

Those with children will find well-regarded schools within an easy commute, including options within Killingworth – Amberley Primary School and St Mary’s RC Primary School are both within a mile. Additional primary school options include Bailey Green, Westmoor, and Forest Hall, all within a five-minute drive.

For those of secondary school age, families will find George Stephenson High School within Killingworth, plus additional options in Longbenton, Shiremoor, and North Gosforth.

Newcastle city centre is home to two excellent universities, Newcastle University and Northumbria University, as well as Newcastle College which offers education for 16–18-year-olds, vocational university degrees, plus skill-based courses for adults.

Local bus routes will carry residents throughout Killingworth and other destinations across the north of the city, as well as the city centre itself with the nearest stop located a six-minute walk away on East Bailey.

The development is also not far from the city’s Metro line, with Palmersville being the closest station – 21 minutes’ walk away. From here, journeys into the city and out to the coast are quick and convenient, with services expected every 12 minutes.

Newcastle’s Central Station is six miles away and a stop along the Metro route, providing regular national rail services direct to many of the UK’s major towns and cities with the fastest direct journeys to London taking under three hours.

Newcastle International Airport offers a wide selection of destinations and connections worldwide, a 20-minute drive away.

Killingworth Village is home to two local public houses, both of which are warm and welcoming with a popular food menu – perfect for an easy stroll home with both under 10 minutes’ walk away from the development.

Killingworth Shopping Centre is a four-minute drive away, providing a popular supermarket, a selection of fashion retailers and discount stores, plus some fast-food options. The development is also a 20-minute drive from the Metrocentre, one of the UK’s premier retail destinations with 270 stores and services.

The city centre offers an abundant and diverse selection of cafés, restaurants, and bars, including an excellent independent hospitality scene perhaps best exemplified by the regeneration of The Granger Market. The Quayside offers a picturesque selection of restaurants with waterfront dining, ideal for a special occasion.
