Ulgham playing field

Just a straightforward patch of open grass, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want. Kids can actually run properly here without dodging equipment or other people — there’s real space to kick a ball around or just let them burn off some energy. It’s the kind of low-key local spot that doesn’t try to be anything fancy, which is honestly refreshing. Easy enough to get to from Morpeth if you’re after a simple outdoor afternoon without any fuss.
