Descrição
The Town Moor is a large area of open grassland, grazed by cattle in the summer - a relic of historical traditions, with grazing rights held by the Freemen of Newcastle for nearly 400 years. Because of its size - around 400 hectares - it is possible to 'escape' and imagine oneself in remote rural countryside far from the urban reality. It is an important breeding site for Laverca and Petinha-dos-prados, both normally rare in urban areas, and of interest for attracting passage migrants like Papa-moscas-cinzento, Cartaxo-nortenho and Chasco-cinzento, and sometimes flocks of wintering Tarambola-dourada.
The adjacent public park, Exhibition Park, is also worth watching, holding a range of common birds, including water birds on a small lake; in recent years, the lake surrounds have been improved for birds by adding a reedbed and denser shrub planting. The entire area is open access at all times.
Detalhes
Acesso
Newcastle Town Moor is only a short walk from the city centre. Numerous bus services pass along the roads round the edges of the Moor. Two tarmac-surfaced paths cross the Moor, which are open for cycling; the rest of the Moor is free access for pedestrians, but can be wet in winter.
