The Tyne Bridge

Reviewed By geralind

The number of times we have seen this structure on TV has made it an iconic view of Newcastle. To see it first hand and stand underneath brings it home how huge and impressive it is. So well maintained

Gateshead Millenium Bridge

Reviewed By ScottyGee81 - Manchester, United Kingdom

Came here waiting for our friends to finish 'Run The Wall' event from Carlisle to Gateshead. A wonderful curved design, well worth a stroll over this bridge and looks fantastic all lit up at night. There are also some good cafes, bars and restaurants along the Quayside.

High Level Bridge

Reviewed By EgbertNochips - West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

We rode the Metro from Monument to Gateshead across the blue Metro Bridge. We then enjoyed a stroll across the High Level Bridge back to the Newcastle side of the river. Great views of the other bridges from the High Level Bridge, particularly of the Swing Bridge and also of the Art Deco towers of the iconic Tyne Bridge. The Newcastle Castle Keep is near the Newcastle end of the High Level Bridge.
