Hi Everyone,
Today we visited Thornley Woods in Gateshead. The woods is free to enter with an onsite car park and visitors centre open for take away food orders and toilet facilities. They have a lovely covered picnic area too ideal to take a break.
This is a lovely wood and was very quiet and peaceful on our visit. There are various trails you can take all clearly marked along the route. They are different lengths and intensities so you can choose which you want to do.
We took the sculpture trail route today and found some amazing sculptures carved into the trees. This route was only half a mile long and would be fine for little legs and prams etc.
We also did a bit of off track exploring. We found some lovely walks in the woods directly across the road from the Visitor Centre however there was quite alot of steps and hill climbs so more suitable for older kids.
You can walk to derwent side play park along the routes. We didn't visit the park today but have been previously, its a good size play area and should keep the kids occupied for a while.
This woods is definitely worth a visit and a explore.
