It was absolutly fabulous, quiet, peaceful only the birds chipering away. No dogs, I love dogs, but not to hear any shouting is priceless. No bikes either, just a nice long walk, agmonst the tree. You can spend some times in a hide enjoying, the wild life on a lake. Althought, I didn't see a lot of wild life, I heard it. It is really nice, & restfull to be able to get away, if only for a few hours, from it all. I went back today & it was still nice & tranquil. This time I was luckier with the wild life, a heron, egret, swan, ducks & roe deer. I spent 4 hours there, really lovely. I have also become a member for a year, so I can go back & enjoy it more. No, it is still lovely & quiet but today was really cold. The wind was bitterly cold & the lake was frozen, nothing moved bar a few leaves skating on the ice, & the trees were creaking. As long as you're dress warmly, it is still very enjoyable

One of my favourite private Nature Reserves to visit on a regular basis. With many varieties of birds and other wildlife here, it's a lovely place to stroll around at your leisure whilst observing nature at its best. Thanks to the great work of a dedicated, onsite warden AND numerous volunteer members, the regular upkeep and maintenance of the reserve is allowing many varieties of wildlife to breed successfully in a natural, safe environment. Entry is through membership (or day pass) via Natural history society of Northumberland, based at offices within Newcastle Hancock Museum. Keys to the Hides are also available to purchase when paying for membership.

A beautiful nature reserve which you need to be a member of to enter - hides around the lake and a bird feeding hide - although they only put food out in winter months.One toilet on site accessible if you purchase a key for the hides from the Hancock museum. The woodlands are lush, full of wildlife. There is a wildlife meadow area which is nice to observe insects in the summer. Beware phone reception isnt brilliant in places.

Gosforth Nature Reserve is a remarkable and tranquil location that offers a diverse range of wildlife and natural beauty. On a recent visit, I was captivated by the peaceful ambiance and stunning scenery. The reserve is home to a variety of animals, and I was fortunate enough to spot a majestic deer during my visit. Additionally, the reserve is a haven for bird watchers, with a plethora of unique and spectacular species to observe.

The reception staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and their knowledge and passion for the reserve were evident. They provided helpful information about the reserve, including the best places to spot wildlife and the different trails to explore. The staff also shared the reserve's conservation efforts and the importance of protecting the local ecosystem.

Overall, Gosforth Nature Reserve is an excellent destination for nature enthusiasts and anyone seeking a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The reserve's natural beauty and diverse wildlife make it a must-see location, and the friendly reception staff add to the enjoyable experience. I highly recommend a visit to this remarkable...

Not much to see in the way of animals (not the season, proper time of day). Boots are recommended, as the footpaths are uneven and some are paved with sharp gravel. Wood planks on the paths are sometimes too far apart, making it a game of chance to walk safely. There are a few benches to sit on. To move about, you need to rely on the painted trail posts; a map exists at the entrance, but not on the trails; a printed map is not provided, so you should rely on your smartphone to access the one found on the Google Maps reviews of the place. You can pay at the entrance via contactless. Jesmond Dene is an alternative, and not the only one around Newcastle, and does not cost. The entrance to this site should perhaps be...
