South Tyneside Heritage Trail

Following a route of 26 miles the Heritage Trail passes through most of the towns and villages which make up the borough of South Tyneside.

It takes you through a variety of landscapes, from rugged coastline and farmland to reclaimed industrial sites and busy streets. Along the way is a series of interpretation panels which highlight aspects of the area's rich heritage and invite you to 'dig a little deeper' to find out more for yourself.

If you do not wish to walk the full 26 miles of the trail it can easily be broken into smaller sections.

A Heritage Trail CD is available free of charge, please call 0191 424 7299 for further information.
