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 />
