Hipsburn playground

Tucked just outside Alnwick near the village of Lesbury, this one’s a solid stop if you’re heading to or from Alnmouth — the transport links make it genuinely easy to combine with a day out. It’s got parking on site, which sounds basic but honestly makes a real difference when you’ve got kids and kit to unload. The accessibility setup here is a proper consideration, not an afterthought, so families with children of different abilities can actually get stuck in. Worth knowing about if you’re in this corner of Northumberland.
