Derwent Haugh Tyne and Wear Map

About Derwent Haugh

Derwent Haugh unfolds along the banks of its namesake river, a quiet corner of Tyne and Wear. It lies 1.4 km north of Whickham (from Whickham: bearing 4°T, OS grid NZ 209 626). The air here often carries the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a subtle perfume clinging to the brickwork of its modest homes. Long, lean shadows stretch across the low fields in the late afternoon, testament to the sun’s slow journey towards the horizon. Historically, this stretch of land would have known the rhythm of agricultural life, the turning of soil now softened by the encroachment of suburban gardens. A sense of enduring peace pervades Derwent Haugh, a feeling that the passage of seasons is the most pressing concern.
