High West Jesmond

High West Jesmond

This year’s Jesmond Community Festival includes a new guided walk in High West Jesmond, devised by City Guide Julie Jacques. The full title of the walk is “Walking the Bounds of High West Jesmond” and the route includes the Blue House and Little Moor. Three alternative dates are available (8, 15 or 17 May), but the number of people who can be accommodated on each walk is limited and so YOU MUST BOOK IN ADVANCE by emailing juliemjacques@btinternet.com . There is more detail in the festival programme.
