The Geordie Tourist Does: Saltwell Park in Autumn.
03:11
Saltwell Park is one of those places
that I just never tire of. I like going in every season so I can see how the
surroundings have changed. Since I hadn't been since May, I thought it was
about time I paid a little visit.
Luckily, it was one of those glorious
sunny days. I went with my gal pal Nic and my Pooch Poppy for a little walk
about. I spent most of the time trying to coax the dog into actually walking.
At one point I may have carried her, people may have looked and laughed. It was worth it to keep moving though.
The rest of the time was spent squirrel
spotting and taking photos of the different coloured leaves on trees. I think I
counted at least ten squirrels scuttling in front of us as we walked. I’m just
waiting for the day, when I can actually get a photo of one. Then I shall be
the true David Attenborough.
We went past the lake which is one of
my favourite parts of the park. I just love the way the ducks and swans follows
you as you walk along the side, and the way it can look green one minute and
blue the next depending on the weather. (Look, I’m just weird ok)
Saltwell Park is just great as there
are so many different sections to it. There’s always something new to see.
Saltwell Towers is another favourite, one which will always make me think of
fairy tales and happily ever afters. (I’m just an old romantic.)
They have events coming up like
Enchanted Parks and their Bonfire Evening if you can mange to get some tickets.
I know they're very popular.
Have any of you been to the Park
lately?

ReplyDeleteI LOVE Saltwell Park and I'm a little gutted cos we used to live walking distance and now we've moved to Newcastle so don't get to go anymore! I'll definitely miss it on bonfire night!
