Northumberland National Park Authority is proud to announce the temporary renaming of the beloved Elsdon Burn Walk to the Big Dan Burn Walk in honour of Newcastle United's monumental Carabao Cup victory.
This special gesture celebrates the incredible achievement of Northumberland’s very own Dan Burn, the locally born player whose towering presence graced Wembley Stadium on Sunday. Dan not only scored a vital goal in the final but also earned the Man of the Match accolade, bringing glory to Newcastle United and immense pride to his home county.
The Big Dan Burn Walk, a scenic trail renowned for its breathtaking views, now stands as a tribute to Dan's remarkable contribution to the team and the inspiration his story brings to the local community. Visitors are encouraged to lace up their boots and experience the walk in celebration of both the stunning landscape and a local hero’s triumph.
This temporary renaming will run until Newcastle United’s next match on 2 April, allowing fans and nature lovers alike to revel in the shared pride of this historic victory.

Tony Gates, Chief Executive Officer, Northumberland National Park Authority said: “In an unprecedented and temporary move, Northumberland National Park Authority wanted to honour Dan’s incredible contribution to sport and culture in the region.
Elsdon, once a place at the centre of defence in Border Reiver battles, seems like a fitting place to mark Dan’s and the whole teams’ heroic achievements.”
Northumberland National Park is a place as grand and expansive as Dan himself and if he ever wants a place to train, we have over 405 square miles where he will be made to feel very welcome.”
