Public invited to take part in a bank holiday four-mile wellbeing walk at Marsden

A ‘Walking for Wellbeing’ event is set to be held over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend.

Members of the public are being invited to take part in a South Tyneside ‘Walking for Wellbeing’ event at the Marsden Old Quarry Nature Reserve.

Taking place at 10am on Monday, May 25, the four-mile walk will set off from the Cleadon Park Library, on Prince Edward Road, and down to Cleadon Park.

The route will cut through the houses and join Linnet Way before heading past the South Shields Golf Course and along a path running above the old quarry.

On the return, walkers will go through the nature reserve and up the side of Cleadon Park.

Organisers have reminded those wanting to take part that the paths in and around the old quarry are mostly made up of earth or rock and can be very muddy, uneven and steep in places.

As a result, appropriate walking shoes or boots are recommended.
