Newsham Northumberland Map

About Newsham

Newsham surveys the gentle sweep of Northumberland's coastal plain, a place where the land falls away towards the sea in softened contours. It lies 2.1 km south-west of Blyth (from Blyth: bearing 225°T, OS grid NZ 300 800). Once, the rhythm of this locality was dictated by the coal industry, its legacy whispered in the very soil, though now the landscape has found a quieter, more verdant repose. The houses of Newsham, often built of warm, local stone, seem to absorb the pale, diffused light that characterises this northern coast. Though not a bustling centre, Newsham retains a sense of its own dignified presence, a quietude that allows the distant murmur of the North Sea to be faintly heard on the breeze. A particular beauty resides in the way the sky, vast and often dramatic, seems to hold dominion over these modest dwellings.
