Welcome to Cramlington.live

Welcome to Cramlington.live, an independent community hub for Cramlington in Northumberland. About six miles north of Newcastle, Cramlington grew from a small mining village into one of the county's largest towns after it was chosen for a planned new town in the late 1950s. Today it is home to around 29,000 people, the Manor Walks shopping centre, the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital and, on the edge of town, Northumberlandia, the landform sculpture of a reclining woman opened in 2012.
