Access

Lamesley Pastures Nature Reserve is located in Gateshead. You can park at the pub across the road where there is ample parking and arrangements have been made with them. Across the road from the driveway of the pub, there is a gate with a short path to the hide. A key will need to be obtained either from Gateshead Council or from Thornley Woodlands Centre. Due to the close proximity, even a short visit is possible.
