SOUTH TYNE - RIDLEY RAILWAY BRIDGE

Ridley Railway Bridge

The third of the three bridges in this area built by the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway in 1838. The present bridge is an iron girder bridge, which replaced the original timber one. It crosses the river at a point reached along a track near Ridley Bridge to the south of the Tyne. The river here winds slowly through the open meadows where sheep graze and wild flowers grow and rabbit holes puncture the ground.
