Location, Location, Location - Bedlington

A county steeped in history, lying on the Anglo-Scottish border, Northumberland is home to a mix of both urban and rural towns and villages, with picturesque countryside and seaside landscapes only a short distance away.

Located in the south east of the county is Bedlington, a former mining town offering something for every member of the family, with good schools, shops and services in the town centre and an array of recreational destinations to explore during leisure time.

The town is also situated in ideal proximity to the beautiful Blyth seaside and bustling Newcastle City Centre; great locations for family days out slightly further afield.

Those looking to enjoy a leisurely sport in their free time can take to the green at Bedlingtonshire Golf Club, where stunning views over south Northumberland can be seen from the 18-hole course. To enjoy a refreshing drink or bite to eat, visit the clubhouse, which welcomes both members and visitors.   

For the opportunity to get close to nature, a charming woodland, open meadows and scenic river walks can be found at Plessey Woods Country Park. Look out for the variety of animals who call this park home, including red squirrel, roe deer, otters and various species of birds. Rest any tired legs by sitting down with a cup of tea in the country park’s visitor centre. There’s also a children’s play area to keep any little ones entertained.

If you’re moving to the area with children, there is a selection of good schools around the town, at both primary and secondary levels, including Meadowdale Middle School and St Benet Biscop Catholic High School.

An array of shops and services can be found in Bedlington town centre, ideal for picking up any essentials and catching up with friends. For a wider range of high street retailers and eateries, Manor Walks Shopping and Leisure in Cramlington is just a short drive away, as is Newcastle City Centre, where you can choose from a varied selection of restaurants, bars and much more.

For families looking to make a house a home in Northumberland, Bedlington has so much to offer.
