Bill Quay Community Farm (walking for wellbeing)
Join us for a good ramble from Hebburn along the popular River Tyne Trail. Expect some stunning views up and down the river.
After leaving the library, we will head along the main road just a short way before turning left and heading down towards King George's Field and the riverbank. We will then walk through the beautiful Hebburn Riverside Park, while taking in some long views up and down the Tyne. Our path will take us up to Bill Quay Community Farm; look out for ducks, geese, Boer Goats, Pot Bellied Pigs and alpacas! We will then return to the library along the higher path with great views across to Walker and Wallsend on the other side.
