Enjoy The Coffee Shops And Public Houses In Ryton

The small town of Ryton is situated towards the western border of the county of Tyne and Wear

, in North West England. It is a semi-rural town, lying between the towns of Blaydon and Crawcrook.

Ryton originally built its economy on coal mining, which arguably dates back as far as Roman times and became particularly extensive in 1239 when Henry III allowed coal to be mined outside of the town walls.

There has also been a lot of agriculture historically in Ryton, which has included both arable farming and pastoral farming. The town soon became a somewhat affluent area, with people from Newcastle Upon Tyne and Gateshead migrating there to escape the Industrial Revolution's urban sprawl. This is evidenced by some of the beautiful old mansions that can be seen in old Ryton village.

Following the coal industry's decline during the late 1900s, Ryton slowly transformed into a suburban commuter village for people working in Tyneside's more urban areas. Despite this, however, it is still a particularly vibrant area, with numerous things to see and do. For example, those who like to indulge in a bit of shopping will find outlets to suit every retail preference. From all of the latest high street names, to more independent and quirky goods found in gift shops, you are bound to be surprised by the great selection that this little town has to offer.

In good old-fashioned English style, there are plenty of public houses to be enjoyed in Ryton, many of which are located in the town's old village, nestling perfectly into the narrow, winding streets to complete the feeling of being transported back in time. Alternatively, if you would prefer to sit down for a non-alcoholic beverage, there are a number of quaint coffee shops dotted around the town which welcome visitors and residents alike to relax with a tea or coffee.

The Edwardian theme is continued throughout Ryton, with the large Edwardian park situated within the town centre, housing a children's playground, a spectacular aviary and a bowling green. Venturing out of the town centre itself, you will find the beautiful Country Club hotel situated in the tranquillity of the Tyne's riverbanks.

Golf enthusiasts will be pleased to learn that the town boasts two separate golf courses, Ryton Golf Club in Clara Vale and Tyneside Golf Club, which is slightly closer to the town. In fact, there is quite a serious culture of sport in the town of Ryton. As well as the extensive golf facilities and the expansive park, the town has its very own football club which plays at nearby Crawcrook, named Ryton FC, as well as its own rugby union team, known as Ryton Rugby Football Club. The area even boasts its own cricket club.

Great public transport links connect Ryton to all the nearby areas. Residents and visitors can use frequent buses to reach Hexham, Prudhoe and Crawcrook in the west and Newcastle, Gateshead and the MetroCentre to the east. The MetroCentre is a huge shopping centre which, if Ryton fails to meet your needs, is guaranteed never to disappoint.
