Ridley Park was officially opened on the 27th of July 1904 by Lord Ridley. The park, managed by Northumberland County Council, covers 5.5 hectares and is located just under half a kilometre from the town centre. A community group was formed in 2012.

In 2014, the park won the joint Gold award for Northumberland in Bloom.

Blyth Battery includes the above and below ground remains of a World War I and World War II coastal artillery battery, situated among sand dunes in the South Beach area of Blyth.

The new battery's prime purpose was to prevent enemy landings and engage motor torpedo boats, but by the time of its completion in February 1918 it was also intended to protect the submarine depot ship Titania at Blyth. During World War I, the battery housed two six inch Quick Firing guns and two search lights. The guns were manned by four officers and 75 men of the Tynemouth Royal Garrison Artillery.
