History
Originally designed by landscape architect William Armstrong in the 1860s, Jesmond Dene is a perfect blend of manicured gardens, exotic trees, and wild woodlands. It is a wooded valley following the River Ouseburn between South Gosforth and Jesmond Vale. The park is home to various wildlife, including squirrels, woodland birds, and even the occasional glimpse of an otter or Kingfisher but the river. It is also home to several historic structures, such as the iron-constructed Armstrong Bridge and the ruins of Jesmond Old Mill, which hints at the area's past industrial development.
