...Having lived in Jesmond (Valley View) for 2.5 years, JesmondDene was literally 100m stroll from my flat! It became an integral part of my life in Newcastle and was very handy for weekend walks! The Dene is a very picturesque part of the town with plaenty of wildlife, particularly in 'Pets Corner' where families often visit to take their kids to see the animals. Walk in one direction and you come to JesmondDenehouse, the other joins onto Heaton Park. In the summer this is an ideal place to come and chill out on the weekend.

...About the Dene.
******************
JesmondDene is Newcastle-Upon-Tyne's hidden gem. Tucked away in the North East of the City, the dene is a Victorian park in a wooded valley. The River Ousebourn runs along the valley floor, complete with waterfalls and a quaint old water mill.
The Dene is crowded with trees, plants and flowers along its steep banks and wildlife including the Kingfisher, the Red Squirrel and many woodland birds have been spotted here. The Dene stretches for over three kilometres and there are a large network of paths and bridges throughout. Tthese are found at different levels along the steep banks and it is easy to take a different route and to spot something new on every visit. The dene also incorporates a number of areas of open grassland amongst the trees and there are many events taking part throughout...
