Hadrian’s Cycleway is a long-distance cycle route of approximately 280 kilometers that follows Emperor Hadrian’s Wall, from Ravenglass on the west coast to South Shields on the east coast of England. The route winds through the rugged landscape of Cumbria and Northumberland, passing Roman forts, coastlines, hills, and picturesque villages. Cyclists are immersed in both natural beauty and ancient history, with highlights such as Vindolanda Fort and the iconic Housesteads.

The Willington Dene Viaduct is a historic railway viaduct in Wallsend. It was built between 1837 and 1839. Originally, it consisted of seven wooden arches, constructed using the Wiebeking system of laminated timber—an innovative technique at the time. In 1869, these were replaced by wrought iron arches, retaining the original design. The viaduct is 319 metres long and 25 metres high, and spans the valley of the Wallsend Burn with seven segmental arches. It has been a Grade II listed building since 1986 and is still used by the Tyne and Wear Metro.

This signpost near the Roman fort of Segudunum, here in Wallsend, does provide some information. We're near the Segudunum museum and the Roman baths; Rome is 1,110 miles away; after 84 miles you reach Bowness-on-Solway and the entrance to the Irish Sea, and after 138 miles you'll reach Ravenglass, the official start of Hadrian's Cycleway. The fort, the baths, and the museum are behind the fence.

🚂 The Seaton Burn Waggonway, originally known as the Brunton and Shields Railway, was an industrial railway line operated between 1826 and 1920 to transport coal from collieries such as Brunton, Burradon and Seaton Burn to the River Tyne. The line was partly horse-drawn and partly rope-operated with stationary steam engines—an early form of funicular railway1. In 1837 the route was extended to North Shields, and around 1867 it was converted to standard gauge to connect with the wider railway network. Today, the former railway line has been converted into a traffic-free footpath and cycleway, part of the Waggonways network in North Tyneside. The path winds through green corridors and past traces of industrial heritage, and is popular with walkers, cyclists and nature lovers.

The northernmost border of the Roman Empire in the British Isles was secured against the Celtic tribes by a massive structure: Hadrian's Wall, built in the 120s. An episode of the television series "Treasures of the Roman Empire" on German television (ZDF) is dedicated to this 117-kilometer-long border fortification. The film (available only in German) can be accessed via the following link in the ZDF media library =>> https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/zdfinfo-doku/schaetze-des-roemischen-reichs--der-hadrianswall-100.html

The Spanish City's lively past began in the early 1900s as a troupe of entertainers led by Charles Elderton. Originally a temporary amusement park with Spanish-themed decorations, it soon evolved into a permanent fairground delighting visitors with rides and attractions. The 20th century, however, proved turbulent, with financial difficulties leading to closures and re-openings. Thankfully, recent years have brought a revival, transforming the Spanish City into a thriving leisure destination once again.

A classic view of a local icon, it could do with a coat of paint though.
