Dinnington is a small residential suburb on the edge of Newcastle upon Tyne in England, originally a distinct village that has been absorbed by the city’s outward growth. It characteristically mixes older terraces and post‑war housing with local green spaces, giving it a quieter, more village‑like feel than the inner city.
Locally it has a modest high street and active community groups, and many residents commute into Newcastle upon Tyne for work and leisure. The area reflects the wider social and economic shift in the region from historical rural or industrial roots to a modern suburban commuter neighbourhood while retaining a sense of local identity.
