Spring at Barmoor Castle Country Park: Brighter Days Ahead

After an exceptionally wet start to the year, there is a renewed sense of optimism here at Barmoor Castle Country Park as we look ahead to the arrival of spring.

Northumberland may be known for its castles and coastlines, but spend a little time with your eyes open and you’ll soon realise: this county is teeming with wildlife. From puffins in the sea spray to red squirrels in the treetops, Northumberland is one of the UK’s richest regions for wildlife — and you don’t need to be a seasoned naturalist to enjoy it.
