The murals change sometimes. When I passed by, it was a heron.

The Hagg Bank Bridge, also known as the Points Bridge or Half-Moon Bridge, is a Grade II* listed pedestrian bridge spanning the River Tyne at Wylam. It was originally built in 1876 as a railway bridge for the Scotswood, Newburn & Wylam Railway. W.G. Laws's design incorporated a 73-metre single rib arch with no piers in the river, an innovation at the time and likely inspiration for later bridges such as the Tyne Bridge and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Following the closure of the railway line in 1968, the bridge was reopened in 1975 as a walkway and cycle path linking Wylam with the Tyne Riverside Country Park.

The Spetchells are three elongated man-made mounds of chalk waste, created between 1941 and 1967 as a by-product of an ICI factory in Prudhoe, which produced ammonium sulphate for fertilizers and explosives. Although originally industrial waste, they now form Northumberland's largest chalk grassland habitat, supporting rare flora and fauna such as solitary bees and the endangered Dingy Skipper butterfly. They are part of Tyne Riverside Country Park, where they are managed by local voluntary conservation groups.

The Ovingham Bridge is a single-lane steel truss bridge over the River Tyne in Northumberland, built in 1883 to replace a ferry link; the bridge originally operated as a toll bridge until 1945, was extended with a separate pedestrian bridge in 1974, and underwent a major renovation between 2014 and 2016, during which the deck, piers, and foundations were strengthened to protect the structure from flooding and wear.
