Gateshead-on-Tyne Travel Guide: 18 reviews and 62 photos

Gateshead is where I grew up. I have seen many changes in Gateshead lately, most of them good.

Recently Gateshead made a joint bid with Newcastle for European Capital of Cultre, and while it did not win, there are many new and old cultural sites to visit here.

    Great pic - Thanks. Here in "Barking Town" we have the UK's 2nd largest public artwork called "Holding Pattern" - It's 70m long x 50m wide and almost 6m high. It cost £650,000 to build and only Anthony Gormley's “Angel of the North” is bigger.

    You give an excellent flavour of how Gateshead is modernising with all these great buildings and the wonderful Angel.

    Lynsey dear, I KNOW how much you love my country. But this little page highlighting your hometown shows that there's much to love in Britain as well. That bridge is smashing.
