Map of the UK

Hazlerigg is a small village on the northern fringe of Newcastle upon Tyne in England, sitting where the suburban edge meets Northumberland countryside. It lies close to the A1 corridor and not far from Ponteland and Newcastle Airport, so it feels rural but has easy road links into the city for commuting and services.

Historically the village grew up around coal mining and you can still sense that industrial heritage in the mix of older cottages and later housing; today it’s largely a residential community with local pubs, a village hall and active neighbourhood groups. Its position on the urban-rural boundary gives residents ready access to farmland, footpaths and quieter green spaces while remaining within reach of Newcastle upon Tyne’s cultural and economic opportunities.
