Lambley Viaduct

A beautiful, historic viaduct over the river Tyne. Note to cyclists: the stairs up and down the viaduct, both on the bridge itself and at the other side to rejoin the South Tyne Trail, are steep and narrow. Those with light bikes (or big biceps!!) will have no problem, but for the average cyclist like me, it's a lot of hard work. It can be avoided by going around on the road, but this is also very hilly, so it's mainly about choosing which way you'd like to suffer haha. :)

The purest feat of strength with the e-bike. You have to go under the viaduct and there are only narrow staircases where even the pushing aid is of no use. Viaduct itself very interesting. My recommendation is to go there by bike, explore on foot and then drive around.
