Blyth, Port town in Northumberland, England
Located on the North Sea coast, Blyth features a functional port, extensive beach areas, and a promenade lined with colorful beach huts along the waterfront.
The port's operations began in the 12th century, developing into one of Europe's largest coal export facilities by the 1930s, handling millions of tons annually.
The Spirit of the Staithes sculpture at the quayside, created by Simon Packard in 2003, represents the area's coal mining legacy through steel and gold panels.
The town center contains the Keel Row Shopping Centre, numerous local markets, and direct transport connections to Newcastle upon Tyne, 13 miles away.
Blyth Harbour Wind Farm, established in 1992, and Blyth Offshore Wind Farm from 2000 mark the location of the United Kingdom's first offshore wind installation.
