Dist:0.2km<br/>Part of Bolam Hall's grounds, other parts of which are now a country park. Apparently laid out in 1816-18 by John Dobson for the Hon. J.W. Beresford who wanted "to give employment to the poor in the scarce, disastrous winters of 1816 and 1817". He didn't do too badly out of it either.

Dist:0.5km<br/>One of several car parks distributed around the shore of Bolam Lake. The Country Park http://www.northumberlandlife.org/bolamlakecountrypark/ is administered by Northumberland County Council. The visitor centre and toilets are adjacent, but as this is the smallest of the car parks, there is a notice discouraging rambling clubs and coach parties from using it.
