Whitlingham Country Park is hoisting our very own Green Flag! Well, metaphorically. We have been lucky enough to be awarded a coverted international https://www.greenflagaward.org/ for well-managed parks.
Polly King, Operations Manager of Whitlingham Country Park, said: "To get this award was an honour - to be recognised as a safe and welcoming place, is great. It's down to the whole team, both paid and volunteers, who strive to ensure a great experience for all our visitors."
