Chatton Children’s Playground

Locals know this one’s worth the trip out from Alnwick — it’s a proper community spot, not just somewhere to kill half an hour. The BBQ area is the real draw, and on a decent day you’ll find families making a proper afternoon of it rather than just passing through. Benches mean the adults aren’t just standing around awkwardly while the kids do their thing. It caters to all ages, so no one gets left out when you’re planning a group get-together.
