Pets' Corner is situated within Jesmond Dene, a narrow wooded valley that follows the River Ouseburn.
The parkland containing Pets' Corner was originally developed by Lord Armstrong in the 19th century.
The facility is operated by the Urban Green Newcastle charity, which oversees several parks across the city.
The site includes a mixture of traditional farm livestock and smaller domestic animal enclosures.
The surrounding Jesmond Dene is a designated Site of Nature Conservation Interest.
Pets' Corner is a long-standing community animal attraction located within the grounds of Jesmond Dene in Newcastle upon Tyne. Managed by Urban Green Newcastle, the site features a collection of farm animals and small pets including goats, pigs, sheep, and rabbits. The facility provides an accessible educational experience focused on animal interaction and welfare in a woodland park setting. It serves as a central hub for families exploring the surrounding public parkland. The location maintains a legacy of providing free animal engagement opportunities within an urban green space.
The animal enclosures near the main entrance gates provide the clearest views of the livestock.
Visit on a weekday morning to avoid the high volume of weekend family crowds.
Bring sturdy footwear, as the paths around the animal enclosures and the wider park can become muddy.
Combine your visit with a walk through the wider Jesmond Dene valley to see the waterfall and ruins.
Do not attempt to pet or touch animals outside of designated areas or without following staff guidance.
Open daily, but occasionally closed or restricted during periods of extreme weather or animal health concerns.
Do not feed the animals human food; wash hands thoroughly at provided stations after animal contact.
