Tyne and Don walk (walking for wellbeing)

Come along with us for a wander by the rivers.

Full description of walk
We will head north from Jarrow Focus as we head towards the banks of the Tyne. After enjoying the views, we will head East, briefly back to the road, before working our way through the trees to the banks of the River Don. Look out for ducks and the occasional swan on the water! We will then follow the path past St Pauls Monastery before walking through the park up to Jarrow Hall and back to the library.
