If you're in the area definitely visit the Tyne Bridge. Apparently it was a model for the famous bridges in Sydney, Australia. There are some really nice alleys where you have a magnificent view of the bridge. Have a stroll around the area as it is quite busy and has many great pubs.

Great engineering at its best. Great views from here overlooking the Swing Bridge and High Level Bridge as well as a great view of parts of the city. Bridge can be noisy as used by all types of vehicles. Wide pavements however if you have children with you, they must not be out of your sight due to the constant vehicular traffic.

Many times i find it difficult to find a general category to let people view my Photos. These photos are of the River Tyne Newcastle and its magnificent bridges. My friend and I spent a week there and we found the river area particularly to be fascinating. Pubs and restaurants line the river walks a d at night it all comes alive in a blaze of light. The castle is interesting also. We didn't tour inside. The people are exactly what we expected, as friendly and as helpful as us scots. A great city to explore with its wonderful metro system making it so easy to get around.

There was work being done on the bridge when we visited but still great to walk across and see the city from up high. No fee to go onto the bridge.

Friends visiting from Turkiye, and wanted to visit Scotland so we drove from Essex to Newcastle as a stopover. The views and the places visited was very good. Very lively, very friendly people and beautiful places to visit.

Amazing feat of engineering by Stephenson , initially spanning over pre-existing buildings . I somehow doubt you would get planning permission for this today because of this , but extraordinary to look at
