Delta Force Newcastle paintball centre is a five-star venue set in dense woodland and conveniently located near the A1 in Seaton Burn. The centre is ideally located for visitors from the surrounding area, such as Stannington, Cramlington and Killingworth. As you enter the expansive base camp, a huge FV432 Armoured Personnel Carrier dominates the setting and is the ideal focal point for team and individual photos. The Newcastle paintball centre features immersive adrenaline-pumping game zones, including London Apocalypse - complete with iconic red London double-decker buses and Viet Cong Village, where you need to lead your squad down the Ho Chi Minh trail,coming across a seemingly abandoned village nestled within the jungle. Your Mission is to seize control of the village, building by building.

Great day out with various game scenarios where you both defend and attack. Those who are trigger happy will soon run out of paint balls which are quite expensive to purchase on site. Wear some thick clothing to avoid bruising from the paint balls as THEY DO HURT when they hit you. All the safety equipment is provided. A great fun day out but be prepared to come out with some bruises

Last weekend it was decided we would try somewhere different for a Sunday dog walk and so ended up and Plessey woods. And what a delightful place. There are plenty of clearly marked trails, lots of picnic tables, a very pleasant riverside walk and meadow walk. Something to suit everyone and well maintained. The first time i have visited, but not the last

Visited today with two 4-year-olds and a 1 year old, small 'park' area wasn't suitable for the little one so he became frustrated, craft activity was well staffed and equity but a little odd, making journey sticks; the boys didn't really understand it.
Hall has been restored well compared to my last visit many years ago. Still not all rooms completed.
Comparing to Wallington which we visited last week this was not as well equips for younger visitors.

What a gem and well done to all the volunteers who have opened up this site to the public. Extremely interesting and the history of how the battery was used to defend Blyth and the UK in WW1 and WW2. It has an interesting little cafe serving teas and coffees at very reasonable prices. The staff in all the buildings are extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. It is also located at one of the best Beaches in the UK
6. St. Mary's Lighthouse and Visitor Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 627 reviews
Reached between the tides via a short causeway, St. Mary's has all the fascination of a miniature, part-time island. The Lighthouse, completed in 1898 on a hazardous coast for shipping, remained operational until 1984 when it was superseded by modern navigational techniques. Since then the Lighthouse and former keepers' cottages have been operated as a visitor centre by North Tyneside Council. The surrounding Nature Reserve contains an area of rockpools, clifftop grassland, a beach and newly created wetland habitats.Wherever possible we are open seven days a week between May and September, and during weekends and school holidays in the winter. However, it is not possible for us to open on some days because of tidal conditions. The stated opening times can also be subject to variations on occasion due to weather affecting the times of the tide.

With modern technology, even if YOU check the board in the car park (which tells you about tide times) those responsible (I found) cant get it right!...the day we visited, and its a lovely spot-parking charges are a bit high, the tide was due in an hour before we went across the causeway (on foot) to be on the side of the Lighthouse. We were only on the Island for 10 minutes and the causeway was covered in water, so yes, we got our feet wet and you don't get a car parking refund! bear this in mind when you visit, it is a good spot, lovely lighthouse-eyes on the tide though, as those responsible may not get it right, they didn't when we were there

Visited for a Christening party and amazed at the very nice grounds and the impressive building. I am 40 and shamefully have passed by here thousands of times yet never thought to look in.
One downside is access, we were pre warned by our hosts that disabled access is not available, we had the stroller for our baby which just meant we had to lift it up two flights of stairs, far from impossible but also inconvenient.
Catering was FANTASTIC! 'Proper lush' as I told the helpful and friendly staff, good variety and loved that there was a dedicated kids section, wish other places did this. Drinks were incredibly reasonable, so very impressed.
Will no doubt return again now we know it is there!

A short visit to see the birds of prey while we were staying in a lodge this weekend.
The children liked seeing the golden and sea eagles and the snowy owls like Hedwig in particular. They got to stroke a small owl which was very nice.

I did a Kayak lesson today with Josh, wanted to build my confidence before trying something more challenging and maybe going out on my own! I had an amazing time. I would highly recommend the lesson if you're wanting to give kayaking a go and see how you do. Great atmosphere, really fun session on the sea and everybody was very welcoming. Josh made us all feel comfortable and helped build our confidence and technique, whilst also keeping things fun and entertaining. I was initially a bit nervous about doing this on my own, but I'm so glad I did! Think I've finally found a great new hobby...
