Newcastle upon Tyne is known for its impressive series of bridges that span the River Tyne, connecting the city to Gateshead. Within a distance of just 1.5 kilometers, you'll find seven bridges, each with its own unique character and history. The Tyne Bridge, built in 1928, is the city's iconic symbol, recognizable by its large steel arch and Art Deco style. The High Level Bridge, built in 1849, is an engineering marvel with two levels for rail and road traffic. The Swing Bridge, built in 1876, still rotates to allow ships to pass. Modern additions include the Millennium Bridge, a tilting pedestrian bridge that opens elegantly like a wink. Together, these bridges tell the story of Newcastle's industrial past, architectural innovation, and urban connectivity.

Both sides of the river tyne are steeped in history, but you need to stop sometimes and have a look around and sometimes up aswell!!

Impressive sight of the many old and new bridges that seem to be built on top of each other.
