Backyard Bike Shop Café

Highlight • Rest Area

Backyard Bike Shop is much more than just a bike shop and workshop, it is also a café for delicious food and drinks. You can park your bicycle outside the door of the container building, which still has a neon sign for the brewery that used to be there. Because this is not a secure place, don't forget your bicycle lock. Furthermore, highly recommended for anyone visiting Newcastle and Gateshead by bike.

Gateshead Millennium Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Opened in 2001 to commemorate the new millennium, Gateshead Millennium Bridge is one of the iconic bridges spanning the River Tyne in Newcastle. The bridge is open for cyclists and pedestrians so be careful when it's busy. It's a lovely place to enjoy the sunset over the city, with the colours reflecting on the river.
