Days Out Tyne And Wear Things To Do T&W UK

Tyne and Wear lies in the North East of England, and was created in 1974 when the ancient Anglo-Saxon county of Northumbria was divided in two - the other half becoming Northumberland.

On the southern approach to Tyneside on the A1, the 'Angel of the North' stands 20 metres tall. This modern steel sculpture by Turner Prize winning sculptor Antony Gormley is now considered to be a landmark for North East England.
