Get your walking shoes on and join us for a walk around East Jarrow.

This is a fantastic little walk that will take us through the park at Jarrow Hall, along the River Don and into Jubilee Wood. We will follow some of the footpaths around the woodland; look out for some celebrity planted trees on your way through! After crossing a small footbridge over the Don, we'll walk along a path on the river's north bank before taking a quiet route back up to the town centre.
