The Raven trail
Sir Vincent Raven ran the Greenesfield works as the North Eastern Railway's last Chief Mechanical Engineer. This walk links his plaque, his road, the signal box that carries his name, the house where he lodged as an apprentice, and the bridges and plaques below.

Gateshead Riverside Sculpture Trail
Twelve works numbered on the council's own map board, most placed in Riverside Park from the late 1980s, on the slope between High Level Road and the Tyne. Walk it from either end; the stops below run east to west. There are two routes, each with its own map below — a shorter one with a very steep bank, and a step-free one for wheelchairs and buggies.
