EspañolTOWN MOOR, NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE
The 'Town Moor' is a large area of common land in Newcastle upon Tyne. It covers an area 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.
At the south-eastern corner lies the Exhibition Park, but the rest of the Town Moor is not laid out as a park and is mostly treeless. Freemen of the city have the right to graze cattle on the moor.
"The Moor" is split up into two major sections. The Town Moor is the major part but this is intersected by the A189 road and the section beyond that is known as Nuns Moor.
The moor now has recently had a new pathway laid with more streetlighting and CCTV.
