How to Use This Heugh, Northumberland Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Heugh, Northumberland, England. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

Drag the map to pan to any area of Northumberland or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Heugh and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.

OS MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows OS Outdoor mapping — contours, footpaths, bridleways and access land. Explorer 1:25k shows the OS Explorer sheets themselves: the orange-covered 1:25 000 maps walkers, fell runners and mountain rescue teams use, with field boundaries, rights of way and open access land. The search box finds any British town, village or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Heugh.

Reading the map like a paper Explorer sheet. Click Grid to overlay the OS National Grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference such as NY 266 234 by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an OS National Grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what mountain rescue and the coastguard work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your grid reference stays correct even where the map itself cannot load, which in the Lakes, the Dales and the Highlands is often exactly where you need it.

Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

About Heugh

Heugh reveals itself as a quiet collection of stone and field, shaped by the persistent winds that sweep across the Northumberland plains. It lies 4.9 miles west of Ponteland (from Ponteland: bearing 273°T, OS grid NZ 085 731), and is situated north-east of Stamfordham village. The landscape surrounding Heugh remains marked by the faint, earthen indentations of the Shrunken Medieval Village, where the ghosts of former dwellings settle into the grass under the shifting light of the North East. To the south, the still, dark waters of Lady’s Hole reflect the heavy, grey clouds that often dominate this horizon. Agricultural rhythms dictate the pace of life here, as the land provides a steady, unadorned living for those who work its soil. The horizon is long and unobstructed, allowing the sun to cast sharp, angular shadows across the open pastures during the late afternoon. Heugh maintains a solitude that feels entirely earned, detached from the frantic pace of modern thoroughfares. It is a place where the history of the ground is written in the silence between the gusts of wind.

About This Heugh Map Page

Explore Heugh, Northumberland, with an embedded street and satellite map - switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 55.052951, -1.868110. Live weather conditions and 7-day forecasts are provided through Open-Meteo, while real-time local and world news feeds help keep the page current. Wikipedia and editorial summaries provide additional local information and context.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any British town, village or landmark by name; offers OS Outdoor and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled OS National Grid so the map can be read like a printed Explorer sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an OS National Grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference remains correct even where the map cannot load.
