The Black Gate, Newcastle

Highlight • Monument

If you want to go to Newcastle Castle, get the tickets here (not at the Castle!), Then just continue under the railway bridge to the castle.

Gateshead Millennium Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Opened in 2001 to commemorate the new millennium, Gateshead Millennium Bridge is one of the iconic bridges spanning the River Tyne in Newcastle. The bridge is open for cyclists and pedestrians so be careful when it's busy. It's a lovely place to enjoy the sunset over the city, with the colours reflecting on the river.

Blacksmiths' Needle

Highlight • Structure

The Blacksmiths' Needle is a 7.6-meter-high conical steel sculpture on Newcastle's Quayside, designed by the British Artist Blacksmiths Association and unveiled in 1997 by percussionist Evelyn Glennie. The artwork consists of six segments, each representing a sense—with the sixth segment symbolizing the "sixth sense"—and features wrought iron objects with a maritime theme, such as mermaids, bells, and shells, created during public "forge-ins." Part of the Tyne Quayside redevelopment, the sculpture is an example of community-driven art that combines craftsmanship and symbolism.
