The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is an innovative tilting bridge for pedestrians and cyclists that has been connecting the Quaysides of Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne over the River Tyne since 2001. Designed by WilkinsonEyre and Gifford, it is the first bridge in the world to fully tilt to allow shipping passage, earning it the nickname "Blinking Eye Bridge." The bridge rotates to a 40° angle in just 4.5 minutes, allowing vessels up to 25 meters high to pass. At 126 meters long and weighing 850 tons, it is an engineering feat that forms part of the area's urban redevelopment and is an internationally acclaimed icon of modern British bridge building.

The original Tyne Bridge in Newcastle was a medieval stone arch bridge built around 1250, similar to the old London Bridge, with houses and shops built onto the bridge itself. This bridge stood where the Swing Bridge now stands and was a vital link on the Great North Road between London and Scotland for centuries. In 1771, the bridge was largely destroyed by a massive flood, which caused half of the structure to collapse. Remnants of the old arches have since disappeared, but archaeological finds such as Roman coins and foundation remains point to earlier bridges on the same site, including a Roman bridge dating from around 120 AD that formed part of the Pons Aelius fort.

The Boathouse in Newburn is a pub restaurant on Water Row along the River Tyne. Reopening as Branzino, it boasts high-quality, modern décor and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Serving British classics (Full English, Boathouse Bonanza) paired with popular burgers and brioche bap (e.g., beef patty with bacon, cheese, fried onions, and egg) sets it apart, with reviews praising the quality of the food and the hospitality.
