This great walk will lead us firstly down to the banks of the Don via Jarrow Hall. We will follow the river around the back of St Paul's Church and Monastery along a lovely quiet path through the trees. After ducking under the A19, we will track through Jarrow Cemetery before rejoining the river for the return to the library.
