High Level Road
Runs along the top of the escarpment with two entrances to Riverside Park and the Gateshead Riverside Sculpture Trail below. No homes have a High Level Road address or entrance: Kenilworth House and Fairway Court overlook it from the top of the old retaining wall, with no access from the road. The railway-arch businesses address as Wellington Street.

At its east end High Level Road passes under the railway viaduct through the arch lettered “Gateshead Railway Quarter”, between the High Level Bridge approach and Kenilworth House, and joins Wellington Street on the far side. The arch has a headroom limit of 12 ft 3 in (about 3.7 m): check before booking a high-sided removal van or a large delivery.
Kenilworth House and Fairway Court stand along the top of the original retaining wall that separated the railway works from the hillside running down to the river. Both look out over High Level Road, but neither has a way in from it.
