Nice spot on a summers day to stop for a picnic and a breather whilst cycling this stretch of the Castle Eden Walkway, which is part of National Cycle Network 1.
Lovely spot to walk around and explore. Great if you have young children as there is a childrens playground located behind the Tower Cafe. Easy to stroll around as the terrain is generally flat.
Brasside Pond is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Two large ponds, the result of flooding of old clay pits. Important breeding site for wildfowl.
