fantastic view of the bridges

The bridges on Newcastle Quayside form an iconic ensemble spanning the River Tyne, where history and modern architecture intersect. The Tyne Bridge, with its distinctive arch dating from 1928, is a symbol of the city and reminiscent of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Nearby is the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, a feat of engineering that tilts to allow ships to pass and is known as the "Winking Bridge." Along with other bridges like the High Level Bridge and the Swing Bridge, they tell the story of Newcastle's industrial past and urban renewal.

George Stephenson's birthplace is a simple stone worker's cottage on the north bank of the River Tyne in Wylam, built circa 1760 to house mining families, and where the future railway pioneer was born in 1781. A Grade II* listed building owned by the National Trust, it is now a historic house museum with original furnishings and displays about Stephenson's childhood and early locomotives, and is opened to visitors by costume guides who wish to experience the living conditions of a Georgian mining family.

Here you can once again take picturesque shots. The trail meanders along the beautiful beach.

Located close to Hadrian's Wall, the lovely village of Matfen is well worth spending some time in. This eighteenth-century planned estate village was originally established by the Blackett family. With a gently flowing stream, village green and attractive stone dwellings, Matfen is as unspoilt as it has ever been. Built some 200 years ago, the attractive, creeper-covered Black Bull Inn fronts the village green and has low beams and open fires.

The stone cross is a war memorial and an impressive monument in the form of a Celtic cross, erected in memory of local soldiers who died in the First (22) and Second World Wars (3). The 4.8-meter sandstone cross is richly decorated with symbolic patterns and inscriptions that convey deep respect and historical significance. It is a peaceful, reflective spot in the heart of the village, near Holy Trinity Church.
