The suburb of Jesmond is immediately north of the city centre. Its heart...
...the junction of the major road through Jesmond, Osborne Road - with
its hotels and houses - and Acorn Road - the local shopping street....
...is only a 20 minute walk, or a short bus or metro ride, from the city
centre. Besides it's streets old and new, it also has the great asset of
Jesmond Dene:
this is the wooded valley of the Ouseburn stream which runs down to the
Tyne..
...and is now a public park, given to the city by armament manufacturer
Lord Armstrong.
