Ashington is one of the largest towns in Northumberland, with weekly market days where you’ll find friendly traders selling local products on Tuesdays. Ashington is currently undergoing a £36 million transformation to make our town stronger and with the recent opening of Northumberland Train line, it makes commuting far more assessable from Newcastle and the local areas.
If you’re not local to Ashington it’s worth knowing wildlife and nature is in abundance in and around this town, you can take in riverside walks and view of the countryside by heading to Wansbeck Riverside Country Park or Queen Elizabeth II Country Park.
Ashington is a great base as it is close to some of the most beautiful stretches of the coastline including at Cresswell and Newbiggin-by-the-Sea known for its beautiful sunrise and sunsets.
