The Parks and River Walks (walking for wellbeing)

We'd love you to join us for this special ramble visiting 5 different parks.

Our route then continues east and takes us through Jarrow Cemetery before joining the River Don. After leaving the river, we will pick up the Monkton Burn which we will follow through Springwell Park and Monkton Dene.
