Old Fold Tyne and Wear Map

About Old Fold

Old Fold offers a quiet corner of Tyne and Wear, its residential streets reflecting a gentle, settled character. It lies 2.0 km east-south-east of Gateshead (from Gateshead: bearing 105°T, OS grid NZ 272 623). The land here, gently sloping towards the Tyne, retains a certain openness, allowing the pale Northumbrian light to spread generously across the rooftops and manicured gardens. Though primarily a suburban dormitory for the wider conurbation, traces of its earlier agricultural past can be discerned in the occasional mature oak standing sentinel at the edge of a development. The air often carries the faint, almost imperceptible scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, particularly on a cool, clear evening. Life in Old Fold moves with a steady, unhurried cadence, a stark contrast to the bustling heart of Gateshead.
