The Woodland Park has for some years been more familiarly known as the Castle Eden Walkway. The addition of significant areas of land in 2003/4 and refurbishment of the Visitor Centre in 2004, along with other developments including the acquisition of a railway carriage for a novel new classroom, the Virtual Visitor Centre Project and the new sculpture trail, prompted the department to take a fresh new look at the site and to re-brand it as Wynyard Woodland Park.
Officially designated as a Country Park in 1987 and the Borough’s most popular countryside site, the Woodland Park is based around a 3½ mile section of the Castle Eden branch railway lin , running north from the A177 Sedgefield Road to the A689. Part of the site known as Thorpe Wood has also been designated a Local Nature Reserve to reflect its value for visitors and wildlife.
