Scholars Park at Westoe Villag
South Shields
NE33 3EN
Around a mile from both the River Tyne and the beautiful north east coast, the site of Scholars Park was once the largest training ground in the UK for naval education. Sailors of all ranks and many nations began their careers here. While Westoe is now integrated into the greater Tyneside travel network, the heart of the village, with its abundance of green spaces, is still a vibrant reflection of its history as home to generations of students.
The lush, tree-lined streets offer a wide selection of shops and services, from supermarkets and convenience stores to a cosmopolitan choice of cafés, bars and takeaways. A Post Office around fifteen minutes’ walk away is complemented by a drop-and-collect facility less than half a mile from the development.
Scholars Park is just three miles from the A19 and within 25 minutes’ drive of Newcastle and Sunderland, and well served by local buses. For travel further afield, Metro services from Chichester Station, half a mile away, run every fifteen minutes and reach Gateshead in 22 minutes and Newcastle in 24, carrying on to Whitley Bay, Tynemouth and North Shields. The ferry terminal for the half hourly, seven-minute trip across the Tyne to North Shields is less than half an hour’s walk from Scholars Park.
