March 2009 - Keelman's Way - NCN 14
The new traffic free section between South Shore Road and the "Elephant on the Tyne" will reopen on March 18th and will follow the original riverside route.
The traffic free section between Green Lane and Nest Road has been restored to its full width and vegetation cut back. Other traffic free sections have been resurfaced and improved direction signage installed.
A new light controlled crossing over the busy A692 road is now in use for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders.
28/04/2005 Keelman's Way / Derwent Walk Guide notes
Guide notes improved with links to National Cycle Network routes outside Gateshead now linked to sister websites - Hadrian's Cycleway and Three Rivers - at boundaries with South Tyneside and County Durham and the bridges crossing over the River Tyne. This eliminates duplication within the three websites & makes life easier for me !!
These links will open in a new window and allow NCN routes to be followed across the boundary.
24th March 2005 - Keelmans Way NCN 14
It is now possible to cycle along NCN 14 between Swing Bridge and Team Street partly using the new riverside route and partly on existing paths - the new section through the Wimpey Staithes South Bank development is not yet fully complete but is expected to be finished in the next few weeks.
