🏡Amenities

👶 Children's Play Area

🌳 The nearest playground for young children is located in Stainmore Close, Startforth – just a short drive or cycle from Boldron.

The play area features swings, a slide, a climbing frame, and an open grass space perfect for running around or kicking a ball. It's ideal for toddlers and younger children to burn off some energy while parents and carers enjoy a bit of fresh air.

🕒 Best visited during daylight hours – the area is not lit at night, and parking is limited, so walking or cycling is a great option if possible.

🚮 Please help keep the area clean and safe by using the bins provided and keeping dogs out of the play zone.

⚡ Defibrillator

🚑 A public access defibrillator (PAD) is located in the red phone box on the corner by the old pub, near the heart of the village.

💡 This life-saving device is available 24/7 and is registered with the emergency services. In the event of a cardiac emergency, dial 999 – the operator will provide the access code and guide you through how to use it.

🧠 The defibrillator is designed to be simple to use with clear voice instructions – no prior training is needed. That said, local resident Phil offers friendly and informal demonstrations if you'd like to get familiar. Just ask!
