Training in Stakeford

Football, dance and the River Wansbeck.

Stakeford's own list is short: Bedlington Football Factory runs football coaching and H&H teaches dance. For more, the villages just south have martial arts and Pilates, and Ashington, the nearest town, has Ashington Leisure Centre's pool and spa.

The river is the place to train outdoors. A riverside country park was laid out along the Wansbeck in the 1970s, and the Stakeford Bridge crosses it. The name comes from the ford through the mudflats, once marked with stakes to show the depth. A regular running partner makes the riverside loop a habit.
