Newcastle-upon-Tyne - Jesmond Dene

Jesmond Dene, a lovely dell in the northeast of Newcastle, linked to Armstrong Park, must be one of the most attractive city parks in the country. "Dene" is the local designation for the type of narrow, glacial meltwater valley which came into being at the end of the last Ice Age. A nature trail has also been laid out in the park, which was made accessible to the general public at the instigation of Lord William Armstrong.
