Northern Saints Trail - Way of the Sea: Warkworth to Jarrow – 62 miles, 6 days

This route uses the existing England Coast Path, apart from the three miles from the ferry terminal at South Shields to Jarrow. It links with St Oswald’s Way at Warkworth and with The Way of Learning at Jarrow, and visits Tynemouth Priory, significant for 2,000 years and loved for its sweeping coastal views.
Highlights
- Inspired by the stories of the A-Team of Northern Saints
