Blossom Bathing at Riverside Park, Gateshead

Along the banks of the Tyne, this public space includes a sculpture trail, views over Newcastle, and some beautiful woodland. Stretching upstream along the River Tyne from the High Level Bridge. The area was once part of Gateshead's Industrial past and was landscaped into a park in the 1960s. The sculptures followed in the late eighties, early nineties to turn it into an open access art venue.
