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.
It is possible to walk along the banks of the river Tyne, and pass under most of the bridges. The walk allows for great views on most of the bridges, while allowing to cross several of them. Starting from the highway bridge in the West, you can see all bridges spanning the Tyne in a row. Walking towards Newcastle, the next bridge high above is a railway bridge, after which you reach the elegant blue Queen Elizabeth Bridge. After a few hundres metres, you arrive at the High Level Bridge offers a river crossing for both cars and trains, and was sadly under reconstruction when I visited - it has been so for years already. Opened in 1849, it was the first combined bridge in the world to give passage to both cars and trains.
