Attractive area and scenery
Jun 2021
We enjoyed a very pleasant walk from Gateshead, over the Tyne Bridge, along the Quays and back over the Millennium Bridge. It is a very attractive area with lots of bars and places to eat. It was quite busy on the Saturday when we visited. We had hoped to do a boat trip along the River Tyne but sadly they are not running yet after Covid.

Beautiful scenery
May 2021 • Couples
One of the most beautiful places in Newcastle/Gateshead so much history mixed with modern features. It's important to walk along both sides to get the full impact of seeing everything. A really nice area for an early morning walk.

Lovely area of the City, great views of the river and the mix of old and new buildings alongside. Lots of history and quite a few bridges too!

Fab to watch sunset and lights come on the bridges and see in dark. Lovely to walk along
Sep 2020
We drove into centre for an early tea as we were staying in Gateshead and then made our way down to the Quayside to go over the Millenium bridge to get up high on the far side to watch the sun setting and we were not the only ones, then gradually watch it go slower darker and then lights come on on the millenium bridge and all the other bridges. We walked down the Quayside right the way down after crossing back to the main centre side over the millenium bridge and took some lovely photos of the various bridges lit up. It was a lovely evening weatherwise in September so we were very fortunate.

Key to the quayside
Nov 2020 • Couples
The quayside is well worth seeing especially if you've got your camera with you and even better if you've decided to go a little later when the lights are lit up on the bridges. The traffic on the bridges is probably slacker in the evening but it's still fairly busy but don't let it put you off.

The most beautiful river walk in the UK. Not much more to say. Food, drinks, art, beautiful buildings and bridges.
