Walltown Country Park lies on the line of Hadrian’s Wall, near the village of Greenhead. 45 years ago, this site was a working quarry, where the hard whinstone was blasted with dynamite to provide road stone for the expanding road network of the early 20th Century. After it closed in 1976, the quarry was filled in and landscaped, planted with trees and flowers, and today is a haven for wildlife and nature. It is a place to relax, watch wildlife and feed the ducks, but you can also find adventure in its meadows and woodlands and get a real taste of the wild!

This is right next door to us and lovely for a wander around during the day and amazing stargazing on a dark clear night. There are night sky/star charts to help you identify what you are looking at. Many events are hosted here by the National Park Authority.
