New Hartley is a quiet, former mining village in south-east Northumberland, situated roughly five miles north of Whitley Bay and inland from the coastal village of Seaton Sluice. It is perhaps best known historically for the 1862 Hartley Colliery disaster; today, the Memorial Garden in the centre of the village serves as a poignant reminder of that heritage. The layout is largely residential, a mix of older terraced rows and more modern housing, bordered by open farmland. Practicality is a draw here, as the village sits within easy reach of the A190 and A19 for commuting, yet remains within walking distance of the Seaton Delaval Hall estate and the coastal paths of Holywell Dene. While the village itself has a small range of local amenities, including a post office and a traditional pub, it relies on nearby Cramlington or Whitley Bay for broader shopping and rail links, offering a settled, semi-rural lifestyle that remains well-connected to the North Tyneside coast.
