This activity is part of the programme.
A super walk out to open fields and great views!
This walk will take us through Carr-Ellison Park before heading south along leafy pathways to join the popular Bowes Railway Path. The path will take us out into open country before we turn right into the Pelaw Quarry Nature Reserve. Here we'll enjoy wandering the paths through the woods and by the pond, keeping an eye out for wildlife along the way. We'll then turn north to head back up to the library, as always, sticking to green spaces, quiet streets and parks where possible.
