Cramlington is about five miles from the coast. The nearest beach is at [[Blyth]], which is to the east. The county town of [[Morpeth]] is rather nearby. [[Newcastle upon Tyne|Newcastle]] city is also close, which people of Cramlington can go and enjoy. Cramlington is rather new, with lots of [[park]]s. The [[bicycle]] track system means cyclists can travel around the entire town without having to travel on the roads. The underpasses under the major roads mean children can walk around safe from [[traffic]]. ==History== It was thought the [[Viking]]s were the first to settle in Cramlington. Until relatively recently it was made up of a few small [[mining]] [[village]]s, but was chosen to be a new town and since the 1960s, builders have enlarged the town to become the town of 40,000 it is today. ==Facilites== The headquarters of [[The Officers Club]] menswear store is in Cramlington.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.theofficersclub.co.uk/contact.aspx | title=Officers Club Contact Details | publisher=[[The Officers Club]] | accessdate=2009-11-02 | archive-date=2008-03-
