April 08, 2010 Two Rivers

Jarrow actually has two rivers - It sits on the south bank of the River Tyne but the town is disected North to South by the River Don.
This picture is taken at the confluence where the Don runs into the Tyne - in this picture as well as a colouful jib you can see a large pylon on the south of the Tyne which carries power cables across the river at a fantastic height.
below it and behind the white fence is the River Don.
There is a River Don Walk which runs from this point right up to St Nicholas Church in Boldon which is about 5 - 6 miles.
