NORTHUMBERLANDIA

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.

Managed by The Land Trust, a national charity, the park will be allowed to develop and made as accessible as possible to all people.

It is hoped that Northumberlandia will become an attraction which will bring visitors to the area generating new support businesses and income and will be supported by local businesses to help maintain and improve facilities on the site.

It is worth remembering that 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. Day to day management is carried out by Northumberland Wildlife Trust and Azure Charitable Enterprises utilising unpaid volunteers.

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.
