We are the Derwentside Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Hulne Park is the only one remaining of the three parks that once surrounded Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, providing wood and meat for the Percy family, the Dukes of Northumberland. The park is walled, and was landscaped by Capability Brown.
Paths and tracks are very good and well maintiained.
We will visit the site of Hulne Priory and Brizlee Tower and Alnwick Abbey. We also see a cave called the Nine Year Aud Hole found within the park; its entrance is guarded by a Grade-II-listed, probably 18th-century, statue of a White Friar.
There is limited parking Park on Ratten Row near entrance to park. You may need to park in town. The Greenwell road B C and E sections are free all day parking with no disc required. Other car parks have a disc requirement. NB 1100 start
