Fog on the Tyne very early on Saturday morning may have hidden some of the river's standout landmarks, but there's one place that the view is always sublime.
The Free Trade Inn in Ouseburn has the enviable location that offers an uninterrupted vista of The Millennium Bridge, Tyne Bridge, Sage Gateshead and BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art - just to pick out a few of the city's most recognisable sights. And just weeks after being named as one of two places in the North East with the best beer gardens in the country, it's in the news again.
This time, the multi-CAMRA award-winning boozer has been highlighted as one of the best pubs, restaurants and cafés in the UK with a view by Guardian Travel. With a two-tier beer garden and huge windows, it's especially popular during the summer months.
