Hartlepool Travel Guide

Situated on the North East coast of England, Hartlepool enjoys its status as one of England's five "Port Cities" along with Bristol, Liverpool, London, and Southampton.

Hartlepool has been extensively re-generated over the past decade, with many hundreds of millions of pounds invested in its now thriving sea-culture. Hartlepool boasts its Historic Quay (home to the world's second oldest war-ship the HMS Trincomalee), a huge Asda supermarket, another huge Morrissons supermarket, an even huger Tesco supermarket, a large Vue cinema complex, multiple shopping retail parks, Pizza Hut, KFC, Burger King, Mc Donalds, a designer-room shopping complex with all the big-name brands, Middleton Grange Shopping Center (the second largest shopping center in the North East!), a Marina rated as one of Europe's finest facilities, and so much more!

Hartlepool is also proud to sport miles of golden sands, rated as some of England's cleanest. A popular summer attraction for the Seaton Carew area of Hartlepool.

In addition to all this, Hartlepool contains 3 golf courses, again - rated as some of the finest in the North East, and even the country!

Hartlepool enjoys a generally mild winter climate, with an average January temperature of around 7°C - snow and wintry weather is generally scarce and unreliable, being a coastal resort. A pleasantly warm summer climate can be expected, with an average temperature of 21-22°C, and can push up-to and past 30°C on an above-average spell of weather.
