larkim 20 Aug 7:11am, 20 Aug 2024 25,388 posts	0 larkim Newcastle is packed with good parkruns! Drove 3 hours to do Jesmond Dene a few years ago (and pick up son from uni!) only for it to be cancelled due to ice! (Along with all the others that day). But I've run around the route, it is lovely.
Fenners-Reborn 20 Aug 8:18am, 20 Aug 2024 1,303 posts	0 Fenners-Reborn I've done Leazes and Rising Sun. Both excellent. For different reasons. Leazes is a stones throw from St James Park!
Old Croc 20 Aug 9:10am, 20 Aug 2024 34,938 posts	0 Old Croc For a nice one down that way try Blackhill- flat and fast. It is neither but all others will seem that way after it.

forest plodder 20 Aug 10:19am, 20 Aug 2024 2,837 posts	0 forest plodder I'd recommend Jesmond Dene. I've also done Town Moor and Rising Sun, on separate visits. I'd say Jesmond was the most scenic, but a tough uphill start.

Old Croc 20 Aug 10:53am, 20 Aug 2024 34,939 posts	0 Old Croc from Beamish either down the hill to Riverside - Chester-Le-Street or pop up to Consett and got to Blackball
