Carlisle Park


Carlisle Park is located on the southern banks of the River Wansbeck in Morpeth. The land for the park was gifted to the town by the Countess of Carlisle in 1916. After landscaping, development of formal gardens, and the building of Elliot Bridge and a lodge, the park was officially opened on the 11th of September, 1929, by the six-year-old Earl of Carlisle. Haw Hill, within the park, is a prominent grassy mound that is the remains of an 11th-century motte-and-bailey castle. The park was expanded with the addition of the William Turner Garden in 1999, following a £2.1 million Heritage Lottery Fund award. In 2018, a statue of Emily Wilding Davison, a local suffragette, was errected in the park, to commemorate the centenary of women's voting. rights
