Wideopen is a village in North Tyneside , north of Gosforth and five miles from Newcastle Upon Tyne city centre. The spelling as one word is the currently approved form, but '''Wide Open''' is still found on maps and other sources, including the signs at either end of the village. There is an inconsistency in contemporary addresses of shops and services. It borders on the villages of Seaton Burn , Brunswick Village and Hazlerigg . It is bordered on the west side by the A1 bypass, and on the east by the pit heap from the former mine. The village contains a Pub (''Traveller's Rest''), a church and a parade of small shops.
