Funny, isn’t it, how once something becomes generally accepted it gets, well, accepted? Take Armstrong Park’s “cattle run”: according to an interpretation panel, this distinctive feature was sunk for bovine use by Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, writes Carlton Reid. The livestock, goes the story, were herded through this costly railway-style cutting because the route had long been used for leading cows to pasture.

Well done, you ruined Jesmond Dene.
I've yet to see it in person, so maybe it's not as bad as it looks, but I loved how wild it used to look. From these images it seems to have lost all it's character. 🙁
Hmm, and I don't much like having to give you an email address just so that I can comment, I guess that's why there aren't more complaints on here.
