One of six Northern Saints trails long distance walking routes, the Angel’s Way takes in a 30-mile route from Seaton Sluice to Chester le Street.
The trail is based on existing ancient pilgrimage routes and takes Tyneside in all its multi-faceted allure, from a sandy seaside village to the site that once housed St Cuthbert’s remains through a titanic legacy of medieval magic, Industrial Age endeavour and sheer contemporary class.
The trail spends most of its time in NewcastleGateshead with one iconic sight along the way being the Angel of the North, one of Britain’s best-known and most-viewed sculptures which is built on a hill above Gateshead.
One of the most cosmopolitan Northern Saints trails, the route introduces you to some of the North East’s most noteworthy art galleries, museums and cultural venues as well as Jesmond Dene in Newcastle’s leafy suburbs.
