Jesmond Park

Jesmond Dene is a beautiful, wooded valley in Newcastle that serves as a wildlife corridor.

It is home to a variety of trees and wildlife, including the Kingfisher and Red Squirrel.

The area has historical significance, with connections to 19th-century industrial development and landscape design influenced by Lord Armstrong. Visitors can explore the network of paths and bridges, as well as enjoy areas of tranquillity and activity. Millfield House, located near the entrance, offers various activities and amenities.

For families, Jesmond Dene features a Pets Corner with animals and a picnic area with a playground. The Urban Green Café in Paddy Freeman's Park provides a relaxing spot by the pond. Additionally, open-air performances are held in Jesmond Dene during the summer.

Visitors can park in limited spaces or use public transport, as many buses stop at Cradlewell on the Coast Road. Jesmond Dene is generally open throughout the year, with facilities available. The public toilets at the Jesmond Dene Visitor Centre have specific operating hours.
