The Angel of the North is an amazing peice of art and is over 20 metres tall. It welcomes people to Gateshead and Newcastle and there's a great view of it from A1 motorway. I would really recommend standing at the Angel's feet and looking up - its a sight to behold.
About 3 miles from Newcastle city centre, next to the A1. Get the bus from Pilgrim Street, Newcastle.
