Dinnington is a village and civil parish in the City of Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear, England. It is about 9 miles (14 km) north of the city centre, near Newcastle International Airport. It has a population of 1,710.[1]
Formerly a coal-mining village with at least four pits within two miles (3 km), Dinnington has now turned into a more "property-developed area", with the local farmhouse and all its buildings demolished to create housing at rather high-prices at a quite sought-after location .
Situated a 5 minutes drive from Newcastle International Airport, the village boasts both ease of access to City Centre and beautiful countryside walks or drives.
The local school, Dinnington First School has around 140 pupils and feeds into Gosforth East Middle School [2].
