Welcome to Woolsington

Woolsington is a small village located in the metropolitan borough of Newcastle upon Tyne, in the North East of England. The village is situated approximately 5 miles north-west of Newcastle city centre and is bordered by the villages of Dinnington, Brunswick Village, and Hazlerigg. Woolsington is a quiet and peaceful village that is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and horse riding.

The village of Woolsington has a rich history that dates back to the 12th century. The village was originally known as Wulstaningtun, which means "the town of Wulstan". The village was once home to a number of farms and smallholdings, and it was not until the 20th century that the village began to grow and develop into the thriving community that it is today. Today, Woolsington is a popular residential area that is home to a number of families and professionals who enjoy the peaceful surroundings and easy access to Newcastle city centre.

Woolsington is well-connected to the rest of the region, with easy access to the A1 and A696 roads, as well as Newcastle International Airport. The village is also served by a number of bus routes that provide regular services to Newcastle city centre and other nearby towns and villages.

With its rich history, beautiful countryside, and excellent transport links, Woolsington is a great place to live, work, and visit.
