Tyne Valley Railway
Newcastle – Carlisle
Travelling through rolling countryside the line follows the River Tyne for most of the journey. Leaving Newcastle you’ll cross the impressive Tyne Bridge as your journey takes you on to Wylam, the birthplace of railways. There’s plenty of heritage to discover with a castle, fort and a medieval gaol (prison) all accessible from stations along the line.
Enjoy a journey along the Tyne Valley Railway with a difference and explore the cosy real ale pubs along the route. Download the Whistle Stops guide here for more info.
Take in panoramic views of Hadrian’s Wall and the spectacular scenery of the Northumberland National Park as you explore further with the AD122 Hadrian’s Wall Country Bus. See how you can explore this area car-free through Good Journey here…
