We went to the food market on Armstrong bridge before pets corner (there every 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month). This was decent but quite pricey for lunch and fresh doughnuts. Pets corner was ok...well kept but not very many animals, felt like quite a few areas were empty though there were signs stating ducks had to be quarantined for a while.
A lovely little find in Jesmond Dene in Newcastle. The attraction features animals like pigs, sheep, goats, and birds, and is free to enter. Its really well maintained and all of the animals look well. There is a cafe (very expensive) next to it and a small play park with picnic benches and space for the kids to runaround. If the Ice cream van is there, don't miss the chance....they are fabulous!!
Lovely to stumble upon here whilst visiting the waterfalls of Jesmond Dene. The animals and birds have beautiful enclosures and are kept very clean. Lively benches to sit around and view the inhabitants. The only reason dropped a star though it was well signposted think distance should be included, as we were about to give up when we just spotted it. There is a little cafe/meeting area with toilets nearby too.
Great little day out for the (younger) kids. You can stroke the goats. & good selection of birds. Rabbits, etc .Fantastic gift shop that is very reasonably priced at the visitor centre. Small park area & large playing field. 2 larger parks Heaton or paddy freeman’s a short walk away.
Lovely place! We went there with our family Easter Sun. Animals look happy, well looked after. Their carers looked happy too 😆 enjoying being with them. Tea coffee refreshments were available.
