Jarrow Circular via St Paul's and Jubilee Wood (walking for wellbeing)
A great circular walk around the outskirts of Jarrow
We will meet as normal at Hebburn Library. From here, we will walk down to the metro station to travel across to Jarrow. Please bring appropriate fare or a travel card.
From Jarrow Metro station, we will head towards Jarrow Focus, before following a path down to the River Tyne. We will then join the River Don and follow it past St Paul's Monastery, Jarrow Bridge and down into Jubilee Wood. From here, the path will take us under the A19, along the edge of Jarrow Cemetery and across to West Park. From here, it is only a short walk back to the metro station. 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.
