A different view of St James park taken whilst on the way home from a 50 cycle ride around Northumberland. This is the view from across the Town Moor which lies to the North of Newcastle.
The Town Moor is a large area of common land in Newcastle upon Tyne. It covers an area of around 400ha[1], and is larger than Hyde Park and Hampstead Heath combined, stretching from the city centre and Spital Tongues in the south out to Cowgate/Kenton Bar to the west,Gosforth to the north and Jesmond to the east.
The freemen of the City have the right ot graze their cattle on the moor and although not in this shot, there were plenty cattle on the moor.
