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.
