Ryton Willows is a nature reserve on the south bank of the River Tyne in Gateshead, England. The area combines historical significance—as the site of the Battle of Newburn Ford in 1640—with rich biodiversity. You'll find beech woodlands, flower-rich meadows, and ponds teeming with dragonflies and amphibians. The river itself, still tidal despite its distance from the sea, attracts birds such as kingfishers and herons.
