The River Don
Hello! My name is "Fredo" and the River Don is my home. It's a very interesting place and I'm going to tell you all about it.
The River Don in Jarrow
Over Time...
Today it is a stream but in Anglo-Saxon times the River Don was a substantially sized tributary of the River Tyne.
A tributary is a stream or smaller river which flows into a main river.
A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean.
Here is a map of Jarrow, you can see that the River Don flows through the middle of Jarrow.

The river Don flows into the River Tyne and the point where these two rivers meet is the confluence.
Q. Can you find the confluence of the River Don and River Tyne?
