The National Trust’s Gibside is just 25 minutes from the centre of Newcastle. Its 720 acres of parkland provide the perfect family day our, with grand vistas and sheltered groves providing real autumn spectacle. Kids can take a walk on the wild side discovering the nature playscape, den building area and bird hide. Look out for red kites, willow tits and the elusive roe deer. Designed with views and vistas in mind, this is a rare surviving example of an 18th-century landscape garden. From the neo-classical chapel to the walled garden and ornamental ponds, the many original features combine to form one of the grandest designed landscapes in the north of England. There are woodlands and meadows to explore, as well as the original orangery and ruins of Gibside Hall.
