On the southern bank of the River Tyne, is Gateshead, an urban countryside town, famous for the seven bridges over the Tyne that connect it to Newcastle. The most iconic one perhaps is the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, also known as the Blinking Eye Bridge, due to its tilting nature. It is also currently the 16th tallest structure in the city.
