Newbedders Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Just as well that they didn't go into Bedlington Country Park. It used to be a lovely area, now only the fly tippers and weeds thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbedders Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 The country park listed is at Plessey, Hartford Bridge, not the one going down to Humford Mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Robinson Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Bedlington Country Park goes from the Bridge at the Happney Woods right up the river, including Attlee park, and onto Plessey Woods as far as I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbedders Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I accept that, but why is the listing: Plessey Country Park? That implies the parkland which is accessed from Hartford Road / Hartford Bridge. I wouldn't be impressed with the current walk down to Humford Mill from 20 Acres.

Brett Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Was in doctor pit Park last week for the first time. It's lovely. Never had to go past before and expected it to be smaller than it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Robinson Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Bayardm, Could it be that while the downriver bit is in "Bedlingtonshire" the upriver bit is in Cramlington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbedders Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Malcolm, the web site indicates that Hartford Hall is at the west end of the park, no mention of anything beyond, and that none of the 3 car parks are at Plessey. I still think that Plessey Country Park is an entirely different amenity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
