    The town of Gateshead is located in the North East of England in the Ceremonial County of Tyne, and Wear on the southern shore of the Tyne River. Gateshead is linked to the City of Newcastle by seven bridges. From the shore of the Tyne River the elevation rises to 70 meters (230 feet) to the Center of the Town to its highest elevation at Sheriff Hill of 160 meters (525 feet).
