Gateshead Millennium Bridge

Often called the ‘Winking Eye’ bridge, this unique, tilting pedestrian and cycle bridge links Newcastle and Gateshead across the River Tyne.

It’s a stunning, modern landmark, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to see it tilt (or ‘blink’) to allow ships to pass underneath! It’s a fantastic spot for a photo, especially at night when it’s beautifully lit up. It’s a key part of the vibrant Newcastle Quayside experience.
