Heritage Walk: Bridges

A Tyne Derwent Way Heritage walk, from St Mary's and back! Join Tony, a Newcastle and Gateshead City Guide to explore the stories & heritage of the 7 nearby Bridges that connect Gateshead to Newcastle. A brilliant opportunity to get outside, have a chat and learn more about the area's history and culture.

Suitable for all, although we'd recommend you're comfortable walking up to 3 miles/ being on your feet for up to 2 hours - or travelling the equivalent distance and time in your wheelchair.

Meet outside St Mary's Heritage Centre, by the entrance to the Glasshouse. The walk will also end here. What three words for starting point = string.fees.stump

We have introduced a sliding scale payment structure; so that everyone can enjoy and experience Gateshead's green getaway. For more information about which tier you suits your purse at the moment, visit: Tyne Derwent Way event payment guide.

In brief, the tiers are as follows:

Tier 1, Paying £0 - £3 per event

• I frequently stress about meeting basic* needs and don't always achieve them.

Tier 2 , Paying £6 per event

• I may stress about meeting my basic needs* but still regularly achieve them.

Tier 3 , Paying £12 per event

• I am comfortably able to meet all of my basic needs*.

*BASIC NEEDS include food, housing, clothing and transport.
