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.

It was the end of a somewhat dull Summer Solstice Day however still wanted to get in a beach walk if possible.
Turned into the Country Park and followed the winding road along to the far car park. The Park itself looked wonderful although we followed the signs To The Beach.
Wow, could see for miles and so few people.
The only note of caution would be the signs indicating quick sand and sink holes, so we walked in the other direction.
Would highly recommend this.

Enjoy a great day out for all the family at Kirkley Hall Zoological Gardens with over three hundred species of animals including emus, wallabies, marmosets, pygmy goats, donkeys, meerkats, lemurs and many more.Visitors can meet the keepers and learn about the animals and their habitats. With a rolling programme of kids' activities and play areas, forest trails, garden walks, picnic areas and a brand new tea room and gift shop, there really is something for all of the family.

We visited today with our three small children (under 6). We had bought a family pass via Wowcher for £10 and were pleasantly surprised with the amount of animals to see considering its not too big. We arrived at 11:30 and were disappointed to see that the Wallaby walk was locked with no signs that we could see indicating why. We walked down to the play area which was okay but not ideal for small children and it was also very muddy but that can't be helped. The lorikeet enclosure was also locked. We walked around and as we were heading to the cafe, we noticed the wallaby walk was back open, so decided to return to it after lunch. We had lunch in the Orangery cafe. The staff were pleasant but service took ages due to only two staff behind the counter and I couldn't see a food menu either. Prices were a little high but not excessive. We headed back to the zoo to see that the wallaby walk was closed again. We had another walk around and saw a group of people waiting by the lorikeet entrance door, so we waited with them, assuming it was about to open. A staff member opened the gate and shouted to everyone to have their tickets ready... Turns out it is a ticketed bird feeding session. My eldest was very disappointed and we only noticed a small sign by the emclosure once everyone had gone in. On the way out, i saw a small sign on the ticket booth with the wallaby walk times on, which apparently had a break between 1 & 2:30. It was 1:30 by this time so we didn't want to wait an hour and left. We enjoyed the day but I don't understand why the wallaby walk times aren't displayed on the wallaby enclosure and why we weren't asked if we wanted to purchase tickets for the lorikeets when we first arrived at the ticket booth. Next time i would avoid the Orangery cafe and try the other cafe instead or take a picnic.
Also worth noting that the climbing playground is definitely one for bigger kids, it did look good though.

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

If my report had gone on our welcome it would have been no stars as three members of staff behind desk having conversation not on acknowledge us we went to cafe which is very clean but a little expensive staff not people friendly seems all staff need some training.
Museum once we found the way in is very interesting and true to life. As December not many out buildings open. One let down no lift for the elderly.

Reviewed By PVWright - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Since we retired a few years ago, we visit Wallington a couple of times a month. We love doing the River Walk but it is always worth checking when you arrive that the stepping stones over the river aren't submerged or you will end up having to double back on yourselves and walk along the road which runs parallel to the river. We also love the walled garden and the conservatory. When we bring our grandchildren they enjoy the adventure playground and being able to run around on the big lawn in front of the cafe. We often treat ourselves to a cream tea!
10. Woodhorn Narrow Gauge Railway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 86 reviews
In 1991, The Woodhorn Museum (Wansbeck Council) was given an ex mining locomotive and three man-riding cars by the NCB, following the closure of Vane Tempest Colliery near Durham.It was decided rather than allow these vehicles to become a static exhibition, it would serve the heritage of the community better if they were made operational and become a visitor attraction. A volunteer group was formed to manage and build a railway on which the vehicles could operate.
Reviewed By Lennie60 - Yorkshire, United Kingdom
There really isn't much i can tell you about this train ride, it is a pleasurable little ride with some "okay" views. This could be a great attraction if the people made a bit more of an effort, like having some relevant scenic features along the route, possibly mining related or an old village station type of feature, yes it would cost but then if they increased their fare it would still be worth while. If you are in the area please visit.
