Not because you will bump it but because you may find a nasty deposit striking you from the sir if you are not careful this bridge is iconic and has been adopted by the largest inland colony of Kittiwakes in the U.K. who nest there....More

If you are driving in Newcastle then you are bound to go across it or be held up in traffic trying to cross. Several roads try to filter to the relatively narrow bridge and so always seems top be very busy. Yes you could walk...More

Such a beautiful bridge not to be confused with the one in Australia, as they look identical. It's lush!

What can I say, it is a brilliant piece of engineering instantly recognised all over the world and is an Icon of Newcastle and the surrounding city.

Walk the length of the bridge from Newcastle to Gateshead. Better appreciation of the Newcastle landscape seen from the Gateshead side of the river. Don't forget to go under the bridge on the Newcastle side, lots to see on the famous quayside. A must see...More

Absolute must see whilst in Newcastle, brilliant feat of engineering. Just watch out for the kittiwakes that nest there though, you'll have to be quick walking underneath it, it's covered in bird poo!

This is an iconic bridge and landmark on The Tyne and is a must see. The structure is truly fascinating to see and walk beneath.

Definitely a site worth visiting. An amazing piece of engineering which stands out from miles away. One of Newcastles iconic sites.

It is worth walking down from the town to the quayside to view this bridge. Added interest are the seaguls nesting everywhere they can and most had chicks in the nests. Watch where you walk because of the bird lime (poo).
