The Way of Learning is one of the Northern Saint's Trails and connects several historic centres of learning across the North East. This 1rst section begins at the historic St Paul's Church, the site of the monastery where St Bede lived and studied. The first part of the Way of Learning follows the same route as Bede's Way so look for either marker on the way.
