The Lady of the North
Northumberlandia was completed in September 2012. Officially
opened by the Princess Royal on the 3rd September, the park opened
to the public on the 5th September 2012 some ten months ahead of
schedule.
Managed by The Land
Trust, a national charity, the park is managed locally by the
Northumberland Wildlife Trust, who have day to day responsibility
for the park.
Northumberlandia has welcomed over 120,000 people in the first
year of opening, and has had a positive effect for local
businesses. With the opening of a new visitors centre which has
been made possible with a grant from the Banks Community Foundation
and it is hoped that further new developments can be made to help
improve the visitor experience and welcome even more people in the
future.
Northumberlandia was constructed entirely with private funding
by the Banks Group and Blagdon Estate and is free to visit.
Maintenance and development can only take place with the kind
support of visitor donations and local businesses.
Northumberlandia is a community asset and the future success
will only be achieved with support from local people and businesses
and the thoughtfulness of visitors who are asked to take care of
the park, be mindful of the guidelines for using the park, and to
take all litter home with them.
