Days Out Parks, Gardens, Walks & Tours

Gibside 18th Century Landscape Garden

£6.50 adults, £4 children. For a perfect place to escape from the city try Gibside a relaxed and beautiful 18th century landscape park and woodland only three miles from the MetroCentre, and a regular bus destination from Newcastle (Go NorthEast 45, 46, 47). It’s also one of the National Trust’s finest north-east attractions. If you’re expecting fusty and old-fashioned, you’d be wrong: the mansion is now a dramatic ruin and Gibside is famed for its walks, outdoor activities like den-building, a twice monthly farmers market and Friday night pub and beer garden. The cafe offers some of the best homemade cakes, soups and other culinary treats in the area too!
