The NE46 postcode is located in the English district of Newcastle upon Tyne in North East England. It is one of the outermost, rural suburbs of the city. It lies high in the Northumberland Hills, and its remoteness from the major hub of Newcastle upon Tyne makes it an attractive residential area for many. It sits just west of the A68 road and approximately 8 miles from Hexham.

Within this postcode sector there are many small villages, the largest of which is Mickley Village. This small village has a population of about 550 people, and is a rural place of traditional cottages and farms. Here, one can find a restaurant, a bar, a post office, and a few small shops.

The village of Elrington lies just at the border of the NE46 postcode and it has a population of around 350 people. Elrington is a place of great beauty and wildlife, set amidst rolling hills and small rivers that make it a popular spot for fishing.

Local amenities include various churches and schools, as well as a golf course. The towns of Haltwhistle and Hexham each have a local cinema and host many events throughout the year.

The area is steeped in history and there are ruins of centuries-old castles and abbeys. The area also supports some local industry, such as a sawmill and other small businesses. Plenty of local wildlife can also be seen in the area, including otters and deer.

The surrounding countryside makes it a popular place for outdoor activities, such as walking, cycling, and bird watching. There are also plenty of footpaths and bridleways in the area, along with a few golf courses.
