This is the bridge which is the most well known around the world when referring to Newcastle upon Tyne. Australia even copied it and called it the Sydney harbour bridge but ours came first. It is well maintained an is the most used bridge in Newcastle. From it you can see the millennium, swing,railway, metro, high level and Redheugh bridges... More

Undisputed one of the icons of the city, this iron giant that connects both sides of the city by the passage of the River Tyne is a beautiful work of architecture. It is superb and I personally I got tired to photograph it from any angle, but mostly it's even nicer admire him closely.

it looks good in pictures, but really it is a rusty old bridge covered in Kittiwake poo and constantly congested. A good 'been there, done that' picture, but I honestly run under it every time to try and avoid any bad (or as some people say good...) luck that the birds leave behind on my shirt.

The Tyne Bridge is always a great sight to see. Big, bold and shouts at you. The iconic landmark of Newcastle and Gateshead.

Quintessential icon of Newcastle always brings a smile to the face and many fond memories . No matter where viewed from, from the High Level or swing bridge or glimpsed from between buildings you get that special feeling of being at a journey's end.

Well, it's a bridge.... How interesting you find them is up to you. 1 tip, go to the Baltic bar as the sun sets and the lights start to shine to get some good drinks an views of the many bridges over the Tyne. Worthwhile.

To get the best of the bridge you should visit on foot. First off walk over the bridge to see fab views of the river and the other bridges. Then walk down onto the Quayside, take in the buildings and a walk across the rivervia the 'Blinking Eye'. If you visiting Newcastle this is worth a visit.
