our great town, with details of things to do, places to stay and an<br />

the main sections and have included a referenced, fold-out map at<br />

the back for you to aid your navigation. Places are referenced<br />

throughout the guide with either the letters TC followed by a number<br />

which means it is in the Town Centre map. Areas on the Main Map<br />

are referenced with an M followed by a letter and a number to<br />

indicate which box within the grid you will find them. For instance<br />

Throston Golf Club is found at M-A3.<br />

And if that wasn’t enough, look out for the all-new Hartlepool Town<br />

Coastal Cousins<br />

The centre of Hartlepool is sandwiched<br />

between two contrasting coastal<br />

treasures. To the north is the historic<br />

Headland, a proud community, home to<br />

the oldest architecture in Hartlepool.<br />

The area is home to some<br />

great attractions such as the<br />

Story Trail, St Hilda’s Church<br />

(ref M-G4 14 ) and The<br />

Heugh Gun Battery Museum<br />

(ref M-H4 13 ). A walk around<br />

the Headland is a real tonic<br />

any day of the year, as the<br />

North Sea rolls relentlessly<br />

into the promenade walls<br />

and the several piers.<br />

To the south of the town<br />

centre, Seaton Carew is a<br />

busy little seaside resort. The<br />

architecture is primarily<br />

Victorian and there is a long<br />

and easy to access<br />

promenade. Beyond this you<br />

will find over two miles of<br />

golden sands stretching to<br />

the Marina to the north and<br />

all the way to the mouth of<br />

the River Tees to the south.<br />

Fish and chips<br />

are never better than<br />

by the seaside. The<br />

Headland and Seaton<br />

Carew have a range of<br />

places to choose from to<br />

enjoy inside or outside<br />
