Welcome to Carlisle Park, Morpeth

Carlisle Park is a beautiful open space in the heart of Morpeth in Northumberland. Hugging the southern bank of the River Wansbeck, this special park is a Local Nature Reserve and a Site of Nature Conservation Interest. It contains two scheduled ancient monuments, The William Turner Garden, vibrant formal gardens and one of the few remaining working paddling pools in the North East, as well as lawn bowls, tennis, extensive play areas, ancient woodlands and lots more!
