Jesmond Dene, a lovely dell in the northeast of Newcastle linked to Armstrong Park, is undoubtedly one of the most attractive city parks in England. A nature trail has been laid out in the park and takes visitors past the Old Mill, in operation since the mid-1700s. Near the entrance of the park is Millfield House, which provides a range of activities and information.
Also worth exploring is Gibside in Burnopfield, a forest garden considered one of the North's finest landscapes. Gibside also features a Palladian chapel, the Column of Liberty, and numerous easy walking paths.
