A great place to spend some time following the coloured trails and getting onto the massive hill with views over all of Northtyneside, Newcastle and looking upto northumberland. Then have a cheese scone and coffee in the cafe. Tremendous

Came cycling here with a group of friends. Had a great ride of 12miles, and although I had passed the park many times did not realise how extensive the network of paths is. The climax was at the end when we partook of delicious paninis at the cafe, which is a real find and gem. It was hot enough to... More

I love cycling round the park & it is excellently child friendly. I have an issue with the prices in the cafe though. £21 for lunch for 3 people. Just sandwiches & coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This isn't Kensington you know, just Benton. The food is good quality but vastly overpriced. Possibly subsidising the charity or upkeep of the park? Who knows, but... More

There is a great park for kids and a lovely cafe. Friendly staff help with ideas of how to use the park and there are activities on during... More

Here Geordie Stephenson demonstrated his engine to Quaker Edward Pease of Darlington and was commissioned by Pease to survey,... More

There are a couple of lakes, one with a hide for the bird watchers and a good walk up the disused slag heap for dog walkers and bike riders. The cafe is brilliant, if a... More

Not obvious from the main road but once the single country lane has been negotiated, the facility is exceptional. Plenty parking available. Good wholesome home cooking.

Plenty of walking plus a very good cafe with very good home cooked food. Gets very busy during school holidays but still well worth visiting. Not sure of opening hours outside of school holidays but definitely worth finding out and giving it a try. Make sure you look out for the stag which makes regular appearances in the fields. Also...

Try mushrooming. The are many to find here, but obviously be careful of varieties. Also good for Sloes too.
