When I wake up on a crisp autumn-winter morning and the sun is beaming, I like to take advantage of this rare sight and stroll down to Ouseburn, where the real magic is. The towering Byker Viaduct and Byker Bridge look strikingly beautiful under a beaming blue sky or amongst autumn sunsets. Together, you can take in the old brick buildings, noticing how the sun shines off the canal. It is a truly gorgeous place in the autumn or winter sunshine, made even better when shared with your partner.
Consider warming up with fish and chips to make a cosy date out of your romantic walk.
Many couples love to explore the coast by hopping on the metro and getting off at Whitley Bay or Tynemouth. Here, you’ll be dropped just minutes from the brilliant North Sea. You can walk up from Tynemouth or down from Whitley Bay, past King Edward’s Bay and Long Sands. Whether it’s autumn sun or winter storms, this area is unique to Tyneside and makes it one of the best places for a couple’s walk during these colder months. Consider warming up with fish and chips to make a cosy date out of your romantic walk.
The quayside is another unbeatable spot for a stroll. Wrapping up warm, scarves and coats, and walking alongside the River Tyne’s seven bridges is a Newcastle staple that you can share with your partner to make great memories amongst city landmarks. Try stopping off on the Millennium Bridge to take in the magical sights on a chilly winter night. It’s popular for a reason.
...whilst the Dene is beautiful, and close to many of us students in Jesmond and Sandyford, that is only the beginning of the scenic spots that the city has to offer.
