Wardley and Bill Quay walk (walking for wellbeing)

A good ramble exploring places to the south of Hebburn.

Full description of walk
We will meet at the library before heading south through the town via the cemetery. Upon reaching Pelaw Quarry Nature Reserve, we will take the Bowes Railway Path towards South Wardley Farm and Wardley Park. Our route will then turn north again as we start our return to Hebburn via Bill quay and the Riverside Park.
