The Trail You can start the waymarked trail from either Watergate Forest Park or Bringing Kibblesworth Environment Centre. The route is an easy walk along the Bowes and Tanfi eld Railway Paths. It is mostly fl at but it can be muddy Back Burdon in places, so please where appropriate footwear. To get the most from your walk you should use this leafl et in confunction with Ordnance Moor Survey Explorer maps 308 and 316. Bus routes can return you to your starting point via Gateshead Interchange. Artistic Waymarked

The Artist Trail Jim Bond, an artist from Yorkshire, was chosen to create the Waymarkers. Working in metal, Jim produced the waymarkers featuring silhouettes of some of the most common plants seen along the route. Metal blocks showing local wildlife were designed by local school children and added to each marker. Rubbings can be taken from these blocks.

The Schools Jim worked with 4 local primary schools – Lobley Hill, Marley Hill, Wander through woods, Kibblesworth and Washingwell. A class from each school visited the meadows and heathland route and then worked with Jim to draw images of wildlife they had seen onto clay tiles. Jim picked the six best designs from each school, between Watergate Forest cast them in gunmetal and attached them to each waymarker. Park and Kibblesworth For Further Information on….
