A family market-and-park visit
A small town outing with food before play, avoiding a long list of commitments.
Play and a green break close to town / LEEK
Use Brough Park to give a town visit some breathing space. A short walk among the landscaped areas, time in the play area or a picnic can make a useful contrast to market browsing. You do not need a long route or a paid activity to enjoy the change of pace; choose the part that suits your group and the weather.

The park has a steep slope south of the bandstand despite many gentler paths. Choose your route before committing to a longer circuit and follow any local notices around ongoing improvements.
