👍👍 This is the place to come for walks with four different trails to chose from. I chose the "Valley Views" trail which whilst only 4.4 miles is the most demanding. This trail takes you to the top of the hill and down to the valley bottom. It also provides for a varied scenery with open fields, woodlan...

A massive statue standing with wings outspread looking out over the Northumbrian countryside.

👍 Very friendly visitor centre with good selection of food. Seats outside, dogs welcome. Limited parking. We probably only did a quarter of the walks on offer from this point. We did the river walk and sculpture trail for about 3 hours, good places along the river for children to get down and plodge....

👍👍 Today we visited the park for the first time and what a great place it is!! There is so much to do and see at the park.

👍👍 Took my friend Finlay to Broom House for a day out in the summer and we had such a great time. The forest adventure was full of different quizzes and games for us to enjoy and we could have stayed in there all day. Stopped off at the coffee shop before leaving as well, which was full of some great l...

👍👍 A gorgeous park with lots for the children. There's the kids park, basketball court, football field and lots of lovely grounds.

👍👍 After a brilliant day walking we stopped off for food and drink at the on site community center it was excellent and dog friendly,they also do guided walks bird watching etc . The area has board walks so you don't get muddy.

👍 Around a dozen car parking spaces and picnic benches. Unfortunately quite a bit of litter, which stops this being five stars, but beyond that we had a gorgeous walk with our daughter and dog. Clearly signposted from the main road, which I appreciated!

👍👍 Very pretty scenery with beautiful flowers on top of that. Nice café with lovely staff, would recommend to all ages. There is a trail for kids where they have to find certain trinkets or sculptures along the way.
