Summerhill is a unique Country Park that is both a Local Nature Reserve and Outdoor Activity Centre.  

Come and explore the 100 acre site on your own or join in with our many bookable activities.  We offer a range of curriculum linked activities for schools and there is always something for the family to do in the school holidays. 

Staff at the Visitors Centre run activity sessions in archery, rock climbing, orienteering, team games, nature study and crafts for groups and the general public.

We have a Boulder Park, one of the largest of its type in Europe, a BMX cycling course, a closed road cycle circuit, and facilities for archery. We are also home to the Hartlepool Cycle Clinic.

We offer mobility scooter use for increased accessibility which requires booking in advance and an induction on their use. Free parking is also available on site.
