We will meet at the library before heading south through the town via the cemetery. Upon reaching Pelaw Quarry Nature Reserve, we will take the Bowes Railway Path towards South Wardley Farm and Wardley Park. Our route will then turn north again as we start our return to Hebburn via Bill quay and the Riverside Park. There are lots of quiet, green spaces to enjoy on this walk and we should be rewarded with some great views.
