Starting out at Tyne Riverside Country Park at Newburn I walked the 3 miles to Wylam on a lovely sunny spring afternoon.
The map below marks out the cycle path but I actually followed the slightly rougher path right alongside the river.
At times the path beside the river became a little tricky so I would pop back up onto the cycle path for a minute or two before dropping back down to the riverside again.
Taken from the south side of the river on the same stretch.
