Impressively steep hump-back bridge.

Fantastic bakery - good range of sweet and savoury pastries, pies etc., including good vegetarian options (the cheese and red onion pasty is incredible), and great coffee.

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 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.
