H and I have been to Newcastle today (we live in Sunderland). We decided to go to a park on the way back and had never been to the park at Jesmond so decided to go there. We parked near the little pond bit (can't remember its name) which is close to a children's play area. Went for a wander and saw a sign saying Pets Corner. Decided to go for a look as i'm a total animal lover but ended up in the Dene. Kept wandering and ended up getting totally lost. In the end we had to exit the dene onto a road and walked around thre perimeter. I didn't have good walking shoes on so my feet were in agony. To cut a long story short - didn't find pets corner and couldn't face trying another route so came home.
Anyway, was still intrigued to know what the place was like so when we got back I popped onto flickr and found some photos. Photo number 3 had the words 'We met a hitcher...' written underneath!!! So, I know some people on here have been so here i am trying find you!
So, if you're here:
Is the pets corner still open? (It wasn't marked on the little map next to the kids play park but the sign looked pretty new)
Is there alternative parking to where we were that is closer by? (we also drove to a car park that you had to pay to use during the week but was free on weekends. Saw a sign for Pets Corner but wasn't sure how far away it was)
What's the best way to locate it? (I'm sure we were probably so close to it but took the wrong path).
TIA.
