Nice views of the river from the bridge. Also has a nice spread of grass near it alongside the river which is very nice for sitting on during warmer months (however it's clearly a known spot by the uni students so can get a bit busy)

Great starting point for the walk along the river back to the center.

I stumbled upon this bridge whilst wishing to cross the river Wear toward the Cathedral and let me tell you it was a relief when I did. Placed conveniently over the river with one end on one side of the river and the other end on the opposite side, spanning the entire body of water. From the looks of it, the bridge has been there for some time so it seems that other people have in the past identified the requirement of needing to get across the river and some people more industrious than I took it upon themselves to craft this bridge. Not only does it perfectly perform its intended duty but it has spectacular views of the surrounding wooded area and cathedral. Today there was a young couple posing for photographs - they were dressed formally and the woman was wearing a blue skirt and striking blue shoes, her gentlemen friend - a handsome young fellow was wearing a nicely tailored suit. The scene to me was nostalgic of a period where everything in the world seemed so much better and we’d not yet been blighted by the pestilence of the modern age - all watched over by machines of loving grace. The sky was heavy with brooding clouds moving fast like Swallows skimming insects interjected with strong bursts of warm sunshine piercing through the gaps and giving warmth to my face. I guess the main bullet point of this presentation would be that yes! Indeed! It is a wonderful bridge and I would strongly advise you cross it.
