The Memorial Tree Garden is part of the Tyne Riverside Country Park, it's a quiet area of grass and trees dedicated to various people and causes.
This is also the area where the Scottish army amassed in 1640 before winning the battle of Newburn Ford, sending the English army into retreat, taking Newcastle and ultimately causing the start of the English Civil War a couple of years later.

Hiking

The Memorial Tree Garden, aka "The Battlefield", features a lovely short walk along an avenue of memorial trees from the car park to the riverside path.
