Public Talks There are several routes through the Valley, some more well known than others.

 

The Ouseburn Heritage group have several "Heritage Walks" which are a must, to get on their mailing list email

 

Heritage@OuseburnTrust.org

 

The self-contained nature of the valley lends itself to a number of interesting circular walks, so you can always return to your start point. The best place to begin your walk is outside the Ship Inn underneath Byker Bridge. There’s ample parking in the arches of the bridge and a new car park has been provided on Stepney Bank.

 

If you’re not a driver then you’ll want to know that the top of Stepney Bank is well served by buses, ask to be off at St Dominic’s which is just on the Newcastle end of Byker Bridge.

 

The Ouseburn Trust Heritage Group is drawing up a self-guide brochure to assist in this. We hope to have this ready by Summer 2006 – so watch this space for details.

 

The 2006 season of public walks and tours organised by the Ouseburn Heritage Group has now finished. Never fear, our season of public taks at the Cumberland begins on September 18th.

 

A number of people have been asking about Mike Greatbatch's River Ouseburn walks. Mike's now got a programme agreed and here it is.

 

Mike will be providing hand outs on the walks, so it will help him if he knows how many definite visitors to expect. Please give him a bell if you’re keen to come along on (0191) 275 5601

 

Please remember that you don’t need to come on all of the walks, you can pick the ones that you want. It’ll obviously help Mike if you can contact him in advance and let him know which ones you’ll be on so that he can ensure that he’s got enough copies of maps, document, photographs and such like. This doesn’t stop you just turning up to any of the walks.

Sunday 17th September Newcastle Great Park 10.00am to 1.00pm. Start at Wansbeck Road Metro Station, Finish at Kingston Park Metro Station
