Hardwick Park
Make the most of the summer weather with a visit to Hardwick Park in Sedgefield. It’s just a short, 10-minute drive and it’s free admission (car parking charges apply), which is always a bonus!
This stunning parkland is bursting with seasonal delights. Explore its lake and woodland, appreciate its wildlife, find out more about its unique history and ongoing restoration efforts – Hardwick Park dates back to the 18th century – and let the kids run wild on its brand new play area while you sit back and enjoy the magnificent views.
The park hosts events all year round, with its Summer Forest Club and Passport to Nature evenings particularly popular at this time of year.
Castle Eden Walkway and Nature Reserve
Take another walk (or ride) on the wild side with a trip to Castle Eden Walkway and Nature Reserve in nearby Peterlee. It’s a scenic spot that allows you to take in the very best of nature in the North East, with the route transporting you through ancient woodland, wetland and open countryside.
It’s also a great starting point for longer hikes, with the coast and historic local architecture all within view.

WWT Washington Wetland Centre
Located just outside of Sunderland, the WWT Washington Wetland Centre is a magical day out for all the family. The centre offers the chance to get up close and personal with lots of wildlife, with flamingos and otters just some of the creatures that call it home. Their walk-through exhibition, Ganderland, is another opportunity to relish the beauty of wetland wildlife, with geese from all over the world wandering free.
Their adventure play area is another must-visit, while their summer of dragonfly-themed events and activities is certain to inspire and encourage a love of nature.
