Gateshead's green getaway
Along our two rivers, the Tyne Derwent Way is a celebration of where we live - our heritage, our culture, our people and our wildlife.
Explore a riverside route that connects our urban communities to our beautiful countryside, and our past to our present and our future.
Explore the Way
Where will you go today? Discover nature, art and history on your doorstep on a nine-mile route that links many attractions along the rivers Tyne and Derwent. Check out the route and find handy information like where to stop for refreshments, toilets and parking.
