It is certainly no secret how dependent Northumberland has become on the public sector - following the de-industrialisation of the late-1970s and 1980s many of the jobs which our county lost were replaced by positions created within the public sector.
With our traditional industries, such as shipbuilding and mining, almost all but gone, more and more Northumberland residents turned to the county council, local hospitals and other state-funded organisations for secure employment.
Saturday 22 & Sunday 23 October, 11.00 a.m. - 3.00 p.m.
Can your family rise to the challenge of our new walks? Choose which walk you want to tackle then follow the trail to claim your reward! Walks will take from approximately 45 minutes to 2 ½ hours and will lead you off to explore the beautiful woodland and farmland around Wallington, with wonderful views over the wider estate. Bring your walking boots and waterproofs and put your best foot forward!
Normal admission charges apply.

Hearts up and down the UK couldn't help but melt last month as images of Northumberland's four homeless baby red squirrels made headlines around the world.
The five-week-old kittens, which became an overnight internet success, were saved by a passer-by after being thrown from their nest as our county was battered by the winds of Hurricane Katia which reached up to speeds of 70mph.
