Reviewed By Rossergruffydd - Glasgow, United Kingdom
With chains based on ships rigging this was built by a retired naval officer. It costs half as much as a stone bridge and is the oldest vehicle carry suspension bridge in Europe. A Toll House stood on the English side. Robert Stephenson attended the opening in 1820 and Isambard Kingdom Brunel made a special visit to study it when he was eighteen years old. In 1902 it was strengthend with two extra cables, otherwise it has not been changed. It will shortly close for a multi-million pound restoration.

We visited Berwick on Tweed and took in the stunning view of the border bridge from the Ramparts. Recommend a visit while you are in the area.

The bridge was built to carry a railway track. Engineered by W G Laws , W E Jackson & Co. of Newcastle upon Tyne built the bridge's foundations and masonry, and Hawks, Crawshay and Sons of Gateshead manufactured the ironwork. The bridge was opened to rail traffic on 6 October 1876.

Accessible from Wylam by walking the old railway or from the south bank of the Tyne, a shorter walk but less parking. This old railway bridge is in excellent condition and provides a wonderful peaceful crossing of the river with plenty of opportunity to view wildlife, the walk ends as the old railway joined the present line at a juncion just off the bridge. The structure is itself Grade 2 being an early rib arch design and is pleasing to the eye.

An early seventeenth century stone bridge across the Tweed provides a still essential route for present day local vehicles (although it’s about to be closed for 6 months for repairs). You can walk across the bridge’s narrow footpath to get exceptional views up and down the river.
5. Warkworth Bridge

We walked under the bridge regularly during our stay. It is one of the things that makes this a quaint village. It is cobbled and can be slippy when wet. It's dark walking under at night so a little torch is a good idea.
