Sandyford, Newcastle upon Tyne

Sandyford is a small district in central Newcastle upon Tyne.

It represents the north-eastern border of central Newcastle, with the suburbs of Jesmond to the north and Heaton to the east.

Similarly to neighbouring Jesmond, Sandyford is home to a large number of students because of its close proximity to Newcastle University and Northumbria University.

Towards the south-east, the residential streets run steeply downwards to Jesmond Dene.

In the south of Sandyford, there are some light industrial business buildings, including offices and small warehouses.
