i walked across and under this bridge and viaduct to get to Victoria tunnels. It is a lovely bridge and the viaduct is plastered with some lovely art surrounded by trees and nearby Ouseburn farm. In this area you will hear the constaeating of sheep.

The Byker Bridge (AKA the A193) carries you over a valley and you have a great view of the city towards the River Tyne.

As well as the road bridge there is also the Tyne & Wear Metro and main railway line from Newcastle to Scotland taking you over the valley.

It's a pleasant walk from the city centre to Byker metro station and you can take the metro back.

The Byker Viaduct takes you over the surrounding valley and gives you some great views of the surrounding area towards the River Tyne.

If you are not feeling too energetic you can get the Tyne & Wear Metro which runs near the viaduct from Newcastle Central to Byker and get a similar view although it could be over a bit too quickly.

A little stroll from the city centre but well worth it.

My twin brother Stephen and I were visiting Arch 2 Brewery & Tap Room and The Ship Inn and we couldn't help but notice the amazing set of bridges ,The Byker Bridge and this wonderful looking bridge called The Byker Viaduct.
The Byker Viaduct also known as The Byker Metro Bridge is such an impressive looking bridge ,this bridge carries the Tyne & Wear Metro over the River Ouseburn, constructed better 1976 - 1979 ,its construction type is known as a box girder bridge and is 825 metres long,I just loved the look of this bridge, its amazing, it's certainly hard to miss and most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate along Stepney Bank in Ouseburn.

If you want to view Victorian architecture at its best head to Ouseburn and view The Byker Bridge.
This viaduct style bridge carries the long road A193 over the River Ouseburn ,constructed in 1878 as a pedestrianised bridge originally, widened in 1899 its an absolutely stunning piece of architecture, the massive arches look amazing.
We were in this area of Newcastle visiting The Ship Inn underneath the arches and Arch 2 Brewery built into the massive spans,we couldn't help but admire the wonderful looking bridge, its most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate along Stepney Bank in Ouseburn.
