Long Marton Play Area

Tucked away in the village of Long Marton, this is one of those quiet little spots that locals know about and visitors mostly drive straight past. It’s a simple, no-frills play area — the kind where kids can actually just run around and be kids without a million structured activities. Appleby’s nearby if you need shops or a proper lunch stop, which makes this a handy little detour on a day out in the Eden Valley. Worth noting that it’s not wheelchair accessible, so bear that in mind before making the trip.
