Highfield Tyne and Wear Map

About Highfield

Highfield, a quiet hamlet in the Gateshead district of Tyne and Wear, settles into the gentle contours of the North East landscape. It lies 5.6 km south of Ryton (from Ryton: bearing 181°T, OS grid NZ 151 586), and is situated north-north-east of Victoria Garesfield village. The fields surrounding Highfield often hold a particular luminescence in the late afternoon sun, a soft gold that seems to linger on the hedgerows. Though its origins are humble, Highfield has long been a place where the earth yields its bounty, with evidence of agricultural husbandry stretching back through the generations. The air here often carries the scent of damp soil and distant woodsmoke, a comforting perfume of rural constancy. The quietude of Highfield is broken only by the occasional call of a rook or the distant hum of a tractor, marking the passage of a day in its own unhurried way.
