This walk takes us briefly down to the River Tyne before we turn to follow the Don down to St Paul's Monastery and Jarrow Bridge. Our path will then take us through Jubilee Wood, along the edge of Jarrow Cemetery and across to West Park. This is a great bimble taking in some of the best green spaces around Jarrow. Moreover, you will get the chance to see a variety of wildfowl on the rivers
