  Angel of the North
by BorneoGrrl
 
 

The Angle of the North makes the entrance to Tyneside and greets all visitors to Gateshead with open arms, especially when you come by road and rail. It is approximately 20m tall and a wing span of 54m, which is as long as the wings of a jumbo jet.

The Angel is now also one of the 12 official 'Icons of England' and attracts over 100,000 visitors a year. You can't miss it when you drive into Gateshead on the A1. What a sight!!

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
