Good to Know

The remains of Corbridge's Roman bridge sit on the bank of the River Tyne, a short riverside walk from the village. The bridge carried Dere Street, the Roman road north, across the river.

Why it's on our list: it's a quiet, easily missed piece of history, and the walk along the river is lovely in its own right. Pair it with a visit to Corbridge Roman Town.

Worth knowing: the stonework is best seen when the river is low.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
