Geocache Description:

The cache is a short walk along the river bank from the Tyne Riverside Country Park, past the children's play area.

Tyne Riverside Country Park lies on the outer west edge of Newcastle, close to Newburn and the river Tyne. It is easily reached by bus from town, by bike along Hadrian's Way, or if you are coming by car, it is sign posted from the A6085 and the A695. There is ample free car parking available, including spaces reserved for the disabled.In the late 70's and early 80's, the park was developed from derelict former industrial land; this is hard to believe today, as it has been completely transformed.The park covers about 54 hectares, and features a riverside picnic area, an equipped children's play area, a visitor centre and toilets, which are open daily between 9 and 5 throughout the summer, and most days during the winter.There are miles of footpaths and bridleways, which allow you to explore on foot, bike or horseback. The landscape features agricultural land, woodland, grasslands and a large pond, known as the Reeth. This pond, and the woodland beside it, are managed as a nature reserve, and provide a home for many creatures, such as red squirrels and kingfishers.The river views are very pleasant at any time of year, and birds such as goosander, cormorant and herons may be seen. The Wylam Waggonway , which runs parallel to the riverside footpath, is a popular way for cyclists to explore the Tyne Valley.As much of the area near the river is flat with surfaced paths, access for wheelchair users is quite good.The Rangers will be happy to advise you on possible routes around the Country Park and the surrounding countryside. Leaflets and maps are available from the visitor centre, which is open on weekend afternoons, and at any other time when the Rangers are in the building.

The cache is a 1.5 litre food container.
