Eating & shopping
Enjoy your surroundings at Allen Banks
© NTPL/John Millar
Allen Banks is Northumbria's largest area of ancient woodland - so what better place to bring a picnic than here.
There is no shop on site so it is best to bring a packed lunch full of your favourite goodies and something to wash them down with. Wooden picnic tables are provided so that you and whoever is with you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings while you tuck in.
There are toilets at the site and all we ask is that you please put any litter into the bins provided.
