Asda ~800 yards, you drive/walk past lidl and toolstation on the
way.

Tesco ~2 miles the other way near screwfix.

Aldi is about 1 mile past Morrisons which is ~2 miles.

Sainsburys, comet, homebase, argos, etc. 2 miles the opposite way
to
Morrisons.

I should also have said: extensive pleasant woodland 2 miles, beach 800
yards!

Open fell side outside the door. Once past the last farm up Tynehead,
about 3 miles away, heading south there is nothing but open fell for
around ten miles. And I mean nothing no tracks, no paths, no
habitation, just the occasional long abandoned mine working. Similar
in a NW'ly direction. West you only need to go about 5 or 6 miles
before you reach signs of human activity.
