Explore Heaton on foot, bike or e-scooter and breathe in the fresh air when you discover the expansive green of leafy Heaton Park - an ideal starting point to take a stroll all year round and a thriving meeting point for the local community during the long summer evenings when residents spill out to enjoy picnics and BBQs in the sunshine. Enter through the gated entrance on Heaton Road to enjoy a coffee-to-go from the jolliest takeaway coffee cart in the city before venturing through the woods of Armstrong Park to Jesmond Dene and beyond. Alternatively, head in the other direction and wend your way to Ouseburn and Newcastle’s famous Quayside.

Heaton is a great jumping off point for exploring more of Newcastle's regions with its easy access to the neighbouring localities. Head to bohemian Heaton before taking in the creativity of Ouseburn's cultural quarter and venturing into the small but perfectly formed, up-and-coming Sandyford.
