Overview

As we missed the walk around Lambton Park on the 1st I thought we could have a wander around it on the 19th June. The walk is 5 miles, there are no stiles and we will walk on well used paths. There are lots of wild flowers and Rhododendron, as well as some colourful trees, a castle and river thrown in. Meet at 10.30am in the car park which is £3 per car, the postcode is DH3 4AN. What3words ///royal.hired.toast You can always park over at Elba Park and walk over if you want a longer walk and save money. There will be sheep in the fields that we cross, any cattle are in a fenced field.
