Tilesheds Nature Reserve (walking for wellbeing)

This walk will take us through Temple Park to the edge of Whitleas where we'll pick up the West Harton Mineral Line path. This peaceful green corridor will lead us down to the Tilesheds where we'll take a bimble around the nature reserve. Look out for ducks and geese on the pond. Our return route will cut through farmland and eventually back to the library via Temple Park.
