Saltwell Park Pets Corner is a delightful free attraction nestled within the historic Saltwell Park in Gateshead, one of the north-east of England's most beloved public parks. The pets corner is home to peacocks and peahens, pheasants, rabbits, and guinea pigs, housed in a pair of charming octagonal stone and wrought-iron aviaries dating from 1880 that are listed Grade II by English Heritage. Animals have been kept in Saltwell Park since 1877, giving the site a rich history of connecting communities with wildlife. Surrounded by beautiful parkland that attracts around two million visitors per year, the pets corner offers a gentle and accessible wildlife encounter for families, complementing the park's playgrounds, maze, and ornamental gardens.
