Come and join us for a lovely autumn ramble around North Shields and Tynemouth.
Full description of walk
We will meet at The Word then depart for the 1.15pm ferry across to North Shields; please bring appropriate fare or a travel card. On the other side, our route runs along Tyne Street giving us great views down the river. We will then follow Tanner's Bank up to Northumberland Park in Tynemouth.
