During winter 2023 and 2024, Tyne Derwent Way spent time with 13 different community groups of people who live, work and/or volunteer in Gateshead. They were asked what they'd like to see happening along the Tyne Derwent Way to engage people in the rich heritage, nature and culture along Gateshead's rivers. 48 Things was an idea that was popular with everyone. I had the pleasure to work with National Trust, Gateshead Council and local organisations on designing and illustrating the book. The 'things to do' in this activity book were sourced from local people at our launch event in April 2025 - thanks to everyone who contributed, we hope you can spot your idea in some form. Enjoy exploring the Tyne Derwent Way, and the limitless things to do along it - including these 48 things to get you started!
