NewcastleGateshead

"Newcastle (a city on the north bank of the River Tyne) and Gateshead (a town on the south bank of River Tyne) have been transformed into a single cultural and cosmopolitan visitor destination called NewcastleGateshead." -quoted from the NewcastleGateshead visitor information booklet.

The north bank is in the foreground (Newcastle) and in the background, the south bank is Gateshead.

That's the Gateshead Millenium bridge. The cables are the engineering beauty of this structure. Well done engineers, you have made this possible.

Millenium Bridge by night. It opens and closes like an eyelid to let ships pass.

A nice valley behind us.

The Angel of the North welcomes visitors who come by road from the south. The iconic sculpture is the biggest in Britain. It is the largest angel structure in the world. It is as wide as Statue of Liberty is tall.
