Playground

Newcastleton’s a quiet wee village, so it’s good to know there’s a decent spot for kids to burn off some energy here. The playground is easy enough to get to, and it’s set up to be accessible, which makes a difference if you’re coming with a pram or a child with additional needs. What works well is that you’re not far from somewhere to grab food — handy when little ones inevitably decide they’re starving the second they arrive. A solid option if you’re passing through or spending the day in the area.
