Description

A substantial amount of greenspace in the southern part of Cullercoats Conservation Area. The field is the site of Beaconsfield House (HER 8660), a large property that for some time served as a Barnado's children's home. The house was demolished in the late 1950s and the site has remained undeveloped ever since. The open aspect is a fantastic setting for St. George's Church. There are fine views along the coast and out to sea. The east side of the space is a wildlife corridor.
