About Birtley

  • Birtley is close to the Angel of the North, the iconic steel sculpture by Antony Gormley that stands on a hill overlooking the A1(M) motorway at the southern gateway to Tyneside. The sculpture, which was erected in 1998, stands 20 metres tall with a wingspan of 54 metres and is one of the most visited works of public art in the UK, seen by an estimated 90,000 people every day as they pass on the motorway. Beamish Museum, which lies close to Birtley, is one of the finest open-air museums in Britain and recreates life in the north-east of England in the early twentieth century, with a working colliery, a Victorian town, and a 1940s farm.
