Descripción
Druridge Bay Country Park features a variety of landscapes, including a large freshwater lake, woodlands, meadows, and three miles of beaches and sand dunes. The park has excellent facilities with a visitor centre, toilets, a small café and parking. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing walk around the lake (2.5 km), or along the adjacent coastline.
Species to watch for include Martín Pescador Común , Carbonero Montano and visiting Pato Havelda, divers and grebes, Cisne Cantor and Porrón Bastardo and flocks of geese during the winter. Once a prime location for Serreta Chica, the site remains a favourite with wildfowl all year round. The pine and larch plantations around the lake can attract Jilguero Lúgano, Pardillo Norteño, and Piquitureto Común, as well as Jilguero Europeo and Camachuelo Común.
From the sand dunes, scan the sea for seabirds, including gannets, auks, terns, divers, and seaduck. In spring and summer, listen for Buscarla Pintoja singing in the dune slacks.

There are three car parks in the park, the largest of which is found at the far end of the access road, adjacent to the visitor centre. Press a P on the map for directions to a car park. The following car parking charges apply: first hour - free (please still display a ticket); up to two hours - £2.50; over two hours - £4.50.
Parking is free for Blue Badge holders, this is the case whether parked in a disabled bay or not, so remember to display your Blue Badge if you have one. The park gates are open during daylight hours. Please ensure that your vehicle is removed from the car park by the closing time stated on the car park notices. Public Transport: the nearby village of Hadston is well-connected by public transport. Take the X20 bus from Newcastle or Alnwick; or the X18 bus from Morpeth.
