Aycliffe Nature Park is located to the east of Newton Aycliffe, where a disused railway line crosses under the A167 and is accessed either via Groat Drive or from Travellers Green. The site of Ayciffe nature park is wholly owned by Great Aycliffe Town Council and is managed with the assistance of Aycliffe Nature Park Association. The park has an exceptional range of habitats, with a number of interesting species. This 4 hectare site is designated a County Wildlife Site due to its unimproved grassland habitats that have developed over about fifty years on the old railway siding. Other habitats consist of wetland, marshy grassland, limestone grassland and scrub.
