Join me for a walk around The Headland in Hartlepool, also known as 'Old' Hartlepool, and the original site of settlement on this part of the North Sea coast. Home to almost 1,400 years of history, and more recently the site of the only First World War battlefield in the UK, The Headland is a fascinating place to explore!
On our walk around The Headland, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Heugh Lighthouse, the Sevastopol Cannon, memorials to the bombardment of the Hartlepools, Heugh Battery, Redheugh Gardens War Memorial (Headland War Memorial), Heugh Breakwater, Cliff Terrace, St. Hilda's Church, Morison Hall, Borough Hall, The Squircle, Hartlepool Town Walls, Croft Gardens, Sandwell Gate, Pilot Pier, The Pot House Pub, statue of Andy Capp, mural of Elephant Rock, the former St. Andrews Church, York Place and Hartlepool Bathing Pool.
