Carlisle Park, Morpeth
Historic market town centre park bounded on the north by the River Wansbeck. Some formal areas give way to the south to steep-sided wooded approaches to the castle site and remaining gatehouse, with an intervening stream valley. Many paths are wide and hard-surfaced, level by the river but steeper to the south with long flights of steps as alternative climbs.
The park contains a play area and features the memorial garden of William Turner, Father of English Botany.
