# Newcastle: a City and its River, Newcastle upon tyne, England Rarely is a city defined so clearly by one single feature in the way that Newcastle-upon-Tyne is defined by its river. The city’s history has been shaped by the river, especially by shipbuilding; and now that the ship-yards are largely lost to history, the life of the city, especially its cultural and social life, continues to flow from the banks of the Tyne. A favourite walk in the city is along the Quayside past the Tyne’s famous bridges. There are seven in total that straddle the river in this central area. We will walk by them all and learn a bit of history along the way. Bring your dog and share the experience! We will have our old gal, Nola! We will start at the - Redheugh Bridge - a modern road bridge, opened in 1983 (replacing an earlier bridge at this point). The address is St James' Blvd, Gateshead NE8 2NX, United Kingdom We will start at 11 am sharp. IF you are late just walk along the river and you can catch up to us!
