I have fished the north east coast for nearly 30 years and dont know where the heugh is. I notice it gets a few mentions on the forum,

 

[fishermans freind]

the heugh is on hartlepool headland you have to climb round gates to get on the end though do not try if there is a sea running been a few anglers washed off in previous years
