Blaydon Station to Newcastle Station (Durham)

15m direct from Northumberland Park.

cracking views along the river. An urban route with a mix of green and built-up spaces, following the banks of the River Tyne and only leaving the river to skirt industrial units. Almost all tarmac or paving and accessible for wheelers and with a minor detour at a stepped railway crossing near Blaydon. A peaceful bridleway start; cracking river views. Follows the Hadrian's Wall National Trail (Hadrian's Way) and the Keelmans Way cycle path along the Tyne, rich in wildlife including the world's most inland kittiwake colony, peregrine falcon and shelduck (best at low tide). Information boards cover the history of industrial Tyneside; the 'Dunston Staiths' timber jetty is visible across the river.

8km.

Crossing the river at Scotswood Bridge is a little fiddly, walking beside the busy A695 traffic.

Lunch: The Italian bistro Liosi's is on the route; no toilet stops along the riverside.
