Tyne Riverside Country Park follows the River Tyne for four miles through 200 acres of meadows, chalk grassland, woodland and river bank all within a short distance of Newcastle and Gateshead.
You can explore the Park on foot or bicycle along Hadrian’s Cycleway or Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail, or by following one of the many other paths and trails. Alternatively you can use the Park for many other activities including fishing, horse riding, canoeing, orienteering, wildlife watching and exploring the remains of our industrial heritage. Or perhaps you’d prefer to relax by the river and enjoy the view!
The Park Centre at Low Prudhoe provides toilets and rooms for hire by arrangement. Other facilities include picnic benches, a young children’s play area and canoe launch at Prudhoe; a picnic site opposite Stephenson’s Cottage; and an abseiling location for groups (by arrangement) at Hagg Bank. The Park Centre and much of the Park itself are accessible for less able visitors and an annual programme of family activities is organised by the Park staff.
The Country Park is a short walk from Wylam and Prudhoe train stations and Tyne Valley bus routes.
