Its location on the river Tyne means Newcastle needs bridges to connect to the South - some of them are masterpieces and an integral part of the city's image.
The Romans were the first to establish a settlement on the banks of the river Tyne - and called it Pons Aelius, or Aelian Bridge. They in fact constructed a bridge to allow easy passage across the river Tyne. Many centuries later, after wars with the Danes and destruction north of the river Tyne as a punishment for the rebellion against the Normans, Monkchester, as it was called, was also levelled. This allowed construction of a new town, of which the castle is still visible now. The name of the new settlement: New Castle. The need for bridges remained, and currently Newcastle counts with seven bridges. It is possible to walk along the banks of the Tyne which gives a good view of all of them.
