I moved away a fair few years ago. This site when returning for a visit always makes me smile. A true icon of the city and the area as a whole.
Straight into the heart of newcastle - lovely bridge and great view on a nice sunny day - on a windy day its scary!! Cars far too close to the pavement though - as its the main road into newcastle it could really do with the railings between the road and path,
A visit to Newcastle wouldn't be complete without a trip down to the quayside to see this iconic bridge. It lights up at night time and you get great photos. Even during the day it's such a great view. There is also a big lit up sign on it at the moment for the rugby World Cup as Newcastle is a host city this year Easy to get to from the city centre by walking or public transport and you can even visit one of the many restaurants/bars at the quayside while you are there.
The Tyne Bridge is a through arch bridge over the River Tyne, linking Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. The Bridge was designed by the engineering firm Mott, Hay and Anderson. The bridge was officially opened on 10 October 1928 by King George V and has since become a defining symbol of Tyneside. It is ranked as the tenth tallest structure in the city. This massive structure is a must see with great stonemason work from its time. It would be great to see the old lifts restored and put back into use. I'm sure this would be visited by many that visit Newcastle. The lift doors are located in Lomard Street on Newcastle side.
Every spring - home to the only city-dwelling colony of kittiwakes in the world.If sightseeing, from Newcastle cross the Tyne Bridge, take a right to the Hilton where you can enjoy coffee (or something stronger) with beautiful views of the Newcastle quayside. On leaving, head to the High Level Bridge for your walk back.
Fabulous sight especially at night when its lit up, Demonstrating all thats good about the North East
The bridge is iconic great to walk over it then see it from the quayside great views took some great photos.
Pretty much one of the symbols of Newcastle Upon Tyne, The Tyne Bridge is an absolutely beautiful arch bridge over the River Tyne, connecting Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. You can drive, ride a bike or walk on it.
Apparently, the Sydney bridge was commissioned by the same designers who did Tyne bridge. There's so much similarity to it and it's just a beautiful sight.
You feel quite special when you walk onto the Tyne Bridge, Yes it is busy with both cars, buses and other pedestrians. but if you walk over it slowly and take in the views both ways this gives you some great views and you then realise how hilly the city can be. A DEFINATE MUST DO when in the City.
