Ashington Attractions
Ashington is located northeast of Morpeth. The small hamlet grew into a town as a result of the major coal mining industry. Coal was last produced in 1986 in Ashington, however the town has maintained itself with other employers. The town has leisure facilities and two country parks, the Wansbeck Riverside Country Park and the Queen Elizabeth II Country Park.
