Possible venues depend on how picky you are. The nearest are likely places like Jesmond Dene (within Newcastle), Kepier and Cleaden (Sunderland area). However, they are pretty poor.
Cleadon will get you covered in dog shit and is awful, though brings back memories haha. My mate harry got something on his cloth (for drying his boots) and sniffed it but got too close and ended up with dog shite on his nose
