Welcome to Killingworth Moor

Killingworth Moor is a large area of open land located in Tyne and Wear, England. The moor is situated between the towns of Killingworth and Forest Hall and covers an area of approximately 200 hectares. The moor is a popular destination for walkers, joggers, and cyclists, and is home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, rabbits, and foxes.

The moor is also home to a number of historical landmarks, including the remains of a Roman fort and a medieval castle. The fort was built in the 2nd century AD and was used to protect the Roman Empire from the invading Picts and Scots. The castle was built in the 14th century and was used as a hunting lodge by the Bishop of Durham. Today, both the fort and the castle are in ruins, but they remain popular attractions for visitors to the moor.

In recent years, the moor has undergone a number of improvements, including the installation of new footpaths and the creation of a new wetland area. These improvements have made the moor more accessible to visitors and have helped to protect the local wildlife. Despite these changes, however, the moor remains a peaceful and tranquil place, offering visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and enjoy the natural beauty of the English countryside.
