Forest Hall is an electoral ward and suburb in the western part of the borough of North Tyneside, a few miles north-east of Newcastle upon Tyne in England. It sits on slightly higher ground and features a mix of Victorian terraces and post‑war housing; good road and bus links make it a popular commuter area for the city and the coast.
Historically the neighbourhood expanded with the growth of Tyneside’s industries and railways, and today it remains largely residential with a busy local high street, parks, schools and active community groups that contribute to a village‑like feel. Small shops, pubs and light commercial units provide local employment, while residents value the green spaces and convenient access to the wider cultural and commercial amenities of Newcastle upon Tyne.
