Welcome to North Tyne

North Tyne is a beautiful river that flows through the Northumberland region of England. It is a tributary of the River Tyne and is approximately 32 miles long. The river is surrounded by stunning landscapes, including rolling hills, dense forests, and picturesque villages. The North Tyne is a popular destination for fishing enthusiasts, as it is home to a variety of fish species, including salmon, trout, and grayling.

The Northumberland region is steeped in history, and the North Tyne is no exception. The river has played a significant role in the area's development, with many of the villages and towns along its banks having grown up around it. The North Tyne Valley is home to several historic sites, including the remains of Hadrian's Wall, which was built by the Romans in the 2nd century AD. The wall stretches for 73 miles and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The North Tyne is also a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with many opportunities for hiking, cycling, and horse riding. The river is surrounded by several nature reserves, including Kielder Forest and Northumberland National Park, which offer visitors the chance to explore the area's diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an action-packed adventure, the North Tyne has something to offer everyone.
