Leadgate, Northumberland

Leadgate is a hamlet just outside Chopwell in southern Northumberland, England.

The eastern edge of the area is the junction between Greenhead Road and Lead Road, which lead to Chopwell (to the south east) and Coalburns (to the north east) respectively.

Leadgate is also home to Northumbria Gliding Club and a number of farms.

[2] The area is split between the Northumberland ward of South Tynedale[3] and the Metropolitan borough of Gateshead ward of Chopwell and Rowlands Gill.

Leadgate in Northumberland is not to be confused with a place of the same name in County Durham which is almost 7 miles (11 km) to the south.
