River Tyne

The River Tyne flows from Hedwin Streams at Ryton, through the heart of Newcastle and Gateshead to Tynemouth and the sea.

Navigable by larger craft for 16 miles, the river's full 62 miles are appreciated by anglers, rowers and canoeists. Plus you have all the amenities and attractions of a big UK city on the doorstep.
