Gateshead is the ‘other half’ of Newcastle, sitting on the southern bank of the Tyne, with 7 bridges across to the Newcastle side. Geordies are proud of their architecture here, with particular note being placed on Sage Gateshead, the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and the Angel of the North.
Also within and near Gateshead you will find Chopwell Woods, Shipley Art Gallery, Little Theatre, Saltwell Park and Gateshead Stadium. Yet still it’s reputed that a visitor to the UK was once refused entry for saying they wanted to visit Gateshead!
