Leazes Park, Newcastle
Despite being a bustling city, Newcastle and neighbouring Gateshead are blooming with parks and gardens that make it easy for you to breathe in the fresh, restorative air without travelling far. Whether it’s a fresh autumnal walk to enjoy the changing colours of the leaves; a frosty winter march or a leisurely summer picnic and an evening stroll – there are many open spaces in Newcastle and Gateshead to discover.
It’s good for the soul to breathe in the countryside and with so much leafy-green in Newcastle’s urban setting – you have the best of both worlds – not to mention you’re a skip and a jump away from vast expanses of rolling countryside and wide-open space in nearby Northumberland.
Gibside, Gateshead
Since the coronavirus pandemic, we've never appreciated the great outdoors more. If you're craving some fresh air and a change of scenery, make sure to check out the parks and gardens listed below.
Gibside National Trust in Gateshead has a stunning park and rolling gardens with woodland walks and a spectacular tree-lined avenue. Since reopening after a temporary closure during Covid-19 lockdown, Gibside has implemented some important social distancing measures to make sure you can enjoy their beautiful park and stay safe while you do so.
Outdoor attractions including The Alnwick Garden and English Heritage Belsay Hall, Castle and Garden have reopened their grounds and gardens too. Visitors must prebook tickets from their websites.
