Rothbury, Playground

Honestly one of the nicer spots in Morpeth for families with little ones — the river view alone makes it worth the trip. It’s small but well-kept, and that’s saying something because a lot of local parks aren’t. There are swings for the young kids, picnic tables if you want to make an afternoon of it, and enough open grass to let them run around and tire themselves out. The walking path is a bonus, especially if you fancy stretching your legs after. Parking and shops are right nearby, which makes the whole thing pretty easy.
