Winlaton, situated in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead, is technically within the boundaries of Tyne and Wear, although it has historic affiliations with Northumberland. The village lies along the southern bank of the River Tyne, roughly eight miles southwest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Winlaton has a rich industrial history, especially noted for the role it played during the Industrial Revolution. The village was once a center for ironworking, pioneered by Ambrose Crowley, a key figure in the early development of ironworks in the area. Today, Winlaton blends the rural charm of its past with modern amenities, offering a range of services including shops, schools, and recreational facilities. It retains much of its historical architecture along with new developments, presenting a mix of old and new that reflects the village's evolving character.
In terms of local attractions and points of interest, Winlaton offers various options for residents and visitors alike. The village is close to the Derwent Walk Country Park, a recreational area following the course of the River Derwent. It provides walking paths, picnic areas, and natural settings, ideal for bird-watching, cycling, and hiking. Additionally, the proximity to the River Tyne offers opportunities for fishing and riverside walks. Winlaton Mill, a hamlet close by, is another focal point for outdoor enthusiasts. For those interested in history, the Crowley's Iron Works site, although not operational, still stands as a testament to the village's industrial past.
