Gateshead, situated in Tyne and Wear, is known for its rich industrial heritage and modern cultural attractions. Located on the southern bank of the River Tyne, Gateshead offers visitors a unique mix of history and contemporary experiences. The iconic Gateshead Millennium Bridge, a tilting bridge for pedestrians and cyclists, connects the town to Newcastle and symbolises the area's innovative spirit.
The town is home to several notable landmarks, including the Angel of the North, a striking contemporary sculpture that has become a symbol of the North East. Culture enthusiasts can explore the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, housed in a converted flour mill, which showcases cutting-edge exhibitions. For music lovers, The Glasshouse International Centre for Music (previously The Sage) offers world-class performances in its striking, curved glass and stainless steel building.
Gateshead's Saltwell Park, often referred to as "The People's Park," provides a beautiful green space for relaxation and recreation. The town also boasts excellent shopping facilities at the Metrocentre, one of Europe's largest indoor shopping and leisure complexes.
