- Jesmond Dene is a public park in the east end of Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The park was first laid out by William George Armstrong and his wife, of Jesmond Dene House, during the 1860s.
The design is intended to reflect a rural setting, with woodland, crags, waterfalls and pools.
The building of a replacement road and tunnel, The Cradlewell By-pass, was the subject of a road protest camp around 1993, due to the destruction of many 200 year old trees.
Jesmond Dene also contains a free entry petting zoo known as "Pets' Corner", which has been a popular family attraction since the 1960s.
Armstrong Bridge, (from where this shot was taken) spans the Dene and is host to a crafts fair every Sunday morning.
It is now owned by Newcastle City Council.
