Cleadon is a village in the Metropolitan Borough of South Tyneside in England, perched on the south‑facing slope of the Cleadon Hills. The hills are a well‑known area of chalk grassland, prized for its orchids and butterflies, and they afford wide views across the North Sea and along the Durham and Northumberland coasts; the village sits between South Shields and Sunderland, close to coastal communities such as Whitburn.
The heart of Cleadon has a conservation‑area feel with historic cottages, a church and a village green, giving it a distinctly rural character despite its commuter links to nearby towns and cities. Local life centres on small shops, pubs, sports clubs and community events, and the surrounding green spaces and nature reserve remain important to residents and visitors alike.
