Explore this lovely flat green corridor route going along both banks of the river Tyne on cycle paths and just a few short stretches of quiet road. Crossing over the Tyne at Newburn bridge, cycling part of the Keelman's Way to Wylam. The route then crosses over the Tyne at Wylam onto Hadrian's Cycleway, passing by the birthplace of engineer and inventor George Stephenson - a quaint cottage with beautiful garden, maintained by The National Trust.

The route has very few interruptions which allows for very relaxed riding with a photo stop along the way. The paths are suitable for hybrids, mountain bikes. Road bikes should manage if it's dry, but may find it a bit bumpy and muddy on the dirt tracks. Some eye protection is recommended if possible, especially when the weather gets warmer - sunglasses or clear safety glasses, a helmet must be worn and suitable comfortable clothing
