A well known landmark pub on the road north from Newcastle. This was once the A1, The Great North Road, before the building of the motorway a short distance to the west.

Travellers Rest Public House, Wideopen
When the first Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published in 1864 there was a Travellers Rest (PH) located on this site although this building appears to be from a much later date. Standing alongside the old Great North Road, this site will have served passing travellers for many many years.

Boarded farmhouse at East Wideopen
East Wideopen is a farm lying just to the east of Wideopen. The house is boarded and the buildings fenced around for security but the property is apparently in good order (June 2015) and not abandoned.
