The Blacksmiths' Needle is a 7.6-meter-high conical steel sculpture on Newcastle's Quayside, designed by the British Artist Blacksmiths Association and unveiled in 1997 by percussionist Evelyn Glennie. The artwork consists of six segments, each representing a sense—with the sixth segment symbolizing the "sixth sense"—and features wrought iron objects with a maritime theme, such as mermaids, bells, and shells, created during public "forge-ins." Part of the Tyne Quayside redevelopment, the sculpture is an example of community-driven art that combines craftsmanship and symbolism.

Dunston Staithes is an impressive 526-meter-long wooden structure on the River Tyne in Gateshead, England, built in 1893 by the North Eastern Railway to efficiently load coal onto ships for export worldwide. Constructed of North American pitch pine, the structure was once the heart of the region's coal industry, processing up to 140,000 tons of coal per week in the 1920s. After closing in 1980, it fell into disrepair but reopened in 1990 as a heritage site during the Gateshead Garden Festival. Despite repeated fire damage and restoration, it remains a listed building and a rare example of industrial architecture.

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

The Hagg Bank Bridge, also known as the Points Bridge or Half-Moon Bridge, is a Grade II* listed pedestrian bridge spanning the River Tyne at Wylam. It was originally built in 1876 as a railway bridge for the Scotswood, Newburn & Wylam Railway. W.G. Laws's design incorporated a 73-metre single rib arch with no piers in the river, an innovation at the time and likely inspiration for later bridges such as the Tyne Bridge and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Following the closure of the railway line in 1968, the bridge was reopened in 1975 as a walkway and cycle path linking Wylam with the Tyne Riverside Country Park.

George Stephenson, the world-famous railway engineer, was born here in 1781. The National Trust have preserved his family house so you can discover what life was like for a mining family of the time. The house is on the Tyne and Wear Heritage Trail.

Is closed except on specific event days like Open Heritage Days. You can still see the outside though and read some information!

Café, restaurant and hotel, in a cave :) Took the bike down in the lift and they were absolutely fine with it

Good ride but dog walkers and normal walkers can get in the way now the amount of time you have to start and stop takes the shine off a good ride

George Stephenson, often called the "Father of Railways," was born in Wylam, Northumberland, England, in 1781. Wylam was his hometown and the place where he spent his early years. It's located in the northeast of England, along the River Tyne. Stephenson's childhood home was a simple cottage typical of the time, reflecting the rural lifestyle of the region. Today, the George Stephenson Birthplace Museum in Wylam commemorates his life and contributions to the development of steam locomotion.

New Road lay out. Nice to see some investment for cyclists

There is a cycleway on the right side of this bridge, even though it is a path it does have cycleway signage saying so. It is easy to cross over. Keep an eye on your navigation as there are multiple directions you can go on, once over the bridge. Take the river routs on the left side and following cycleways are there
