Murton Tyne and Wear Map

About Murton

Murton rests in the gentle curve of the North Tyneside landscape. It lies 2.9 km west-south-west of Whitley Bay (from Whitley Bay: bearing 239°T, OS grid NZ 329 708), and is situated north of New York village. The air here, though inland, often carries a faint, salty tang from the coast, a whisper of distant seas. The village green, a modest rectangle of well-worn grass, sometimes catches the afternoon sun in a way that makes the common daisies seem almost luminous against the darker earth. Historically, Murton’s character has been shaped by the quiet industriousness of its inhabitants, a steady rhythm that has seen it evolve from its agricultural roots. There is a sense of enduring resilience here, a quiet strength in the weathered brickwork of its older buildings, a testament to lives lived and labours undertaken under the wide, often moody skies of the North East.
