This Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI) lies on the former Newburn and Wylam railway line which was built in the 1870s and abandoned in the mid 20th century. A natural oasis sandwiched between the busy Scotswood Road and the River Tyne, it is home to 18 different species of butterflies in the spring and summer as well as a rich bird life and variety of wild flowers.
