Bywell Bridge is a striking stone arch bridge spanning the River Tyne, connecting the villages of Bywell and Stocksfield since 1838. Built in the classical 19th-century style, the bridge consists of five broad segmental arches of locally quarried sandstone, supported by sturdy piers with buttresses. Originally designed for horse-drawn carriages, the bridge has since been adapted for motorized traffic, yet retains its historic character. The bridge is situated in the picturesque river landscape of the Tyne.

The Town Hall Buildings in Corbridge form a striking ensemble on the Market Place, reflecting the historic and civic heart of the village. Built in 1887 as a municipal complex, it combines Victorian architecture with local sandstone and characteristic details such as stepped gables, arched windows, and a clock tower. Originally housing a meeting hall, library, and fire station, the building remained a center for local government and community life for decades. Today, it houses various functions, including shops and apartments, while maintaining its role as a visual anchor and reminder of Corbridge's civic history and social dynamism.

The sign is part of the Corbridge Tourist Information Centre, which serves as a gateway to Hadrian's Wall Country

The Beaufront Castle Gatehouse is the gateway to the impressive Beaufront Castle, a Grade I listed manor house in Northumberland, near Hexham. Although the castle itself was built between 1836 and 1841 in the Castellated Gothic Revival style by architect John Dobson, the complex contains older elements such as a clock tower with a bell dating from 1694 and parts of a 17th-century house belonging to the Errington family. The gatehouse is believed to be part of this historic structure and served as both ceremonial and functional access to the estate. It stands on a site where a pele tower—a fortified tower house that was later incorporated into the manor house—was mentioned as early as 1415.

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.

Hexham Railway Station is one of the oldest working railway stations in the world, opened in 1835 as part of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway. Built in the classic Victorian style, it has held Grade II listed status since 1988. It features a rare elevated signal box dating from 1896, also Grade II listed.
