View of the River Tyne from Bywell Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bywell Bridge is a striking stone arch bridge spanning the River Tyne, connecting the villages of Bywell and Stocksfield since 1838. Built in the classical 19th-century style, the bridge consists of five broad segmental arches of locally quarried sandstone, supported by sturdy piers with buttresses. Originally designed for horse-drawn carriages, the bridge has since been adapted for motorized traffic, yet retains its historic character. The bridge is situated in the picturesque river landscape of the Tyne.

Beaufront Castle Gatehouse

Highlight • Historical Site

The Beaufront Castle Gatehouse is the gateway to the impressive Beaufront Castle, a Grade I listed manor house in Northumberland, near Hexham. Although the castle itself was built between 1836 and 1841 in the Castellated Gothic Revival style by architect John Dobson, the complex contains older elements such as a clock tower with a bell dating from 1694 and parts of a 17th-century house belonging to the Errington family.
The gatehouse is believed to be part of this historic structure and served as both ceremonial and functional access to the estate. It stands on a site where a pele tower—a fortified tower house that was later incorporated into the manor house—was mentioned as early as 1415.

View from Ovingham Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Ovingham Bridge is a single-lane steel truss bridge over the River Tyne in Northumberland, built in 1883 to replace a ferry link; the bridge originally operated as a toll bridge until 1945, was extended with a separate pedestrian bridge in 1974, and underwent a major renovation between 2014 and 2016, during which the deck, piers, and foundations were strengthened to protect the structure from flooding and wear.
