Northumberland College Zoo (previously known as Kirkley Hall Zoo) is an ideal place for an affordable day out in Northumberland. Located at Kirkley Hall, near Ponteland and about a 30 minute drive from Newcastle.
It is only a small place, but there is still plenty to see as it is home to over 100 species of animals. They have a small playpark, animal demonstrations and a small hut selling drinks, snacks and gifts. It is perfect for younger children - although my older children did enjoy visiting too.
