From Wikipedia

Menton (French: [mɑ̃tɔ̃]; Occitan: Menton in classical norm or Mentan in Mistralian norm, pronounced [menˈta], locally [mɛ(n)ˈtã]; Italian: Mentone [menˈtoːne]; Ligurian: Menton or Mentun depending on the orthography) is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region on the French Riviera, close to the Italian border.

Menton has always been a frontier town. Since the end of the 14th century, it has been on the border between the County of Nice, held by the Duke of Savoy, and the Republic of Genoa. It was an exclave of the Principality of Monaco until the disputed French plebiscite of 1860 when it was added to France. It had been always a fashionable tourist centre with grand mansions and gardens. Its temperate Mediterranean climate is especially favourable to the citrus industry, with which it is strongly identified.

From Wikipedia

Druridge Bay Country Park is adjacent to Druridge Bay between Amble and Cresswell, on the coastline of Northumberland, England. The country park was opened officially in 1989, but works had been ongoing since the 1970s to remediate the site after opencast coaling operations. The park is accessible by vehicle from the A1068 road, and is located on the England Coast Path. Public transport can be taken near to the park’s closest village, which involves a 15-minute walk to get to the park.

The eastern edge of the park, where it meets the coastline, was used in the Second World War as an aerial gunnery and target practice range. This was administered by the nearby RAF Acklington station. Opencasting and quarrying were the previous industries in the area, and when these ceased, the site was redeveloped into a country park. Coal has been worked in the area progressively since the 1940s, which has left several large ponds and pools as an after effect of the coaling operations. Druridge Country Park is situated mostly on the former Coldrife surface mine, which was granted permission in 1965 and worked progressively over eight years.

The lake is fed by Lady Burn, and was created in the early 1970s, starting to fill with water from 1971. However, the water leaked out through old mine workings and had emptied by 1974. In 1983, clay from nearby coal workings was used to re-line the bottom of the lake and it was allowed to refill.

The park is 12 miles (19 km) south east of Alnwick, 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Amble,[9] and 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Widdrington. It has a junction off the A1068 road, and is also accessible by bus from the nearby villages of Hadston and Red Row (No. 518, which includes a 15-minute walk to the country park).

Whilst access was available for some time before official opening the park was deemed to have been opened in July 1989 when the visitor centre was unveiled. In 1992, the Northumberland Shore SSSI was established, with the easternmost part of the park falling within the zone of the SSSI. In 2000, the park attracted 100,000 visitors Further investment in 2020 included a refurbishment of the visitor centre and the creation of an area for caravans and campers. Management of the park is undertaken by Northumberland County Council.
