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.

To understand why this rather modest-looking house remains an attractive destination for visitors to Wylam to this day, we must go back several centuries in history. To be precise, to June 9, 1781. On that day, a baby named George Stephenson was born here – of course, no one at the time could have imagined that this man would later become an engineer and a famous railway pioneer beyond the borders of the British Isles. A picture of his famous locomotive, the "Rocket," can be found at the following link on Wikipedia =>> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stephenson#/media/Datei:Stephenson's_Rocket.jpg

Newcastle upon Tyne is known for its impressive series of bridges that span the River Tyne, connecting the city to Gateshead. Within a distance of just 1.5 kilometers, you'll find seven bridges, each with its own unique character and history. The Tyne Bridge, built in 1928, is the city's iconic symbol, recognizable by its large steel arch and Art Deco style. The High Level Bridge, built in 1849, is an engineering marvel with two levels for rail and road traffic. The Swing Bridge, built in 1876, still rotates to allow ships to pass. Modern additions include the Millennium Bridge, a tilting pedestrian bridge that opens elegantly like a wink. Together, these bridges tell the story of Newcastle's industrial past, architectural innovation, and urban connectivity.

Grindon Lough is a small, shallow natural lake near Hadrian's Wall and the Stanegate Roman Road. Nestled among limestone ridges, it's a birdwatching hotspot, especially in autumn and winter. Species like greylag goose, wigeon, teal, curlew, and even rarer species like the American wigeon or red-necked phalarope can be spotted here. There's no direct access to the lake, but it's easily viewed from the Stanegate Road near Newbrough—but be sure to bring warm clothing, as it's often windy and exposed.
