Days Out/Activities

When you’re looking to unwind, take a woodland walk in the colourful Carlisle Park. With a playpark, riverboats and bowls as well as gorgeous scenery, the park has plenty to offer. We’d recommend checking out Turner Garden which celebrates the life of William Turner who was born in Morpeth. You can find the William Turner Garden within the formal gardens of Carlisle Park, off Castle Square, Morpeth, Northumberland.

Druridge Bay is a living landscape, rich in wildlife and with big plans for the future. The bay is a stunning seven-mile stretch of sand running from Amble to Cresswell and is a popular place to ride, cycle walk, paddle, and surf.
