Blyth
Blyth has a rich maritime history dating back centuries. The once bustling port town, heavily involved in the shipbuilding, coal mining, and fishing industries, is now a strategic hub for renewable energy development, bringing jobs and prosperity to the area.
Aside from its green spaces, beautiful beaches and coastal scenery, you have South Beach Retail Centre and the Valley Retail Park as well as a choice of supermarkets, for great shopping. There’s a good range of schools and adult learning centres, as well as GPs, dentists and the Community Hospital - all close to your new build. It is a beautiful place to live, with great views over the North Sea and the Cheviots.
