A large urban park in Newcastle upon Tyne, featuring a variety of landscapes, including woodland, grassland, and wetlands, with several walking trails, a lake, and a variety of wildlife, including birds, bats, and insects, as well as several monuments and sculptures, including the Wylam Railway Waggonway, a historic railway line.
Great place for a relaxed circular walk through a privately owned rural estate. Sensibly, dogs aren't allowed because of the proximity to grazing farm animals, so ignore the one and two star reviews. The pleasure is in the well maintained paths, peaceful rural spaces and scenery. No dogs, playgrounds, cycling, toilets or cafe. That's its charm.
No cycling. No dogs. Lovely walks, colour coded to show the route. Suggested times/number of miles. Not too far from Alnwick Castle & Gardens. Pheasants are common in the grounds. We saw a heron & deer. We walked the RED ROUTE, which is almost 5 miles, taking in the hilltop priory ruins. There are pretty bridges, including stone, timber, steel suspension, and an iron bridge dating back to 1812. There are numerous gravel paths that make this venue unsuitable for wheelchair users. Take your own food & drink. Staff work around the estate on quad bikes & ranger style vehicles. We started our walk at 11am & completed the route just after 4pm, which is when the park closes to the public. (late August 2023)
Hulne park is beautiful,with 3 different walks ranging from 4 miles to 6.2,you can park near the entrance,Be advised there's no toilet facilities & no refreshments so go before you go lol ,we took some food & drink & kept the area totally clean good day out .
Lots of space to park on road leading into the park. Free to park. 3 different way marked routes all about 4-6 miles. Paths easy to follow. Mainly surfaced roads. No dogs allowed.
We really enjoyed our 6 mile walk round this huge privately owned park near the centre of Alnwick. The main walks are along sealed or gravel roads so usable for wheelchairs. most is relatively level too. Very pretty. Lots of wildlife from herons and ducks to deer and thousands of pheasant (I'm guessing the main reason for the no dogs policy). It was peaceful and beautiful...and free!
Great place for a walk in a beautiful and quiet historic 'estate' park. River Alan runs through the park and there are three different well signposted walks varying from 3.5 to 6 miles. Terrain is undulating but not too demanding. Some nice well maintained river bank areas where you can sit and relax. Abundance of natural beauty and working farmland with livestock. N.B No dogs allowed which suited me ( and no doubt the sheep!) down to the ground. Nice to see not everyone panders to 'dog owners'.
