Rabbit Banks/King Edward VII railway bridge

Lots of bi-curious dogging and gay cruising in the old railway arches and bushes and paths here. A small area of bushes and paths and old red-sandstone railway arches which is used for dogging and gay hookups and cruising, directly under the main Newcastle Central to London Kings Cross mainline. It is formally known as the King Edward VII railway bridge. The area is overgrown and isolated. It is a fairly small area but is very hidden. There are two ways to access the cruising area:- Access is via the path which runs from the banks of the River Tyne at Rabbit Banks Road or Pipewellgate car park. From Pipewellgate Car Park, walk along the river for two minutes and under the King Edward VII railway bridge. Immediately after passing under the bridge, turn left up a steep path, through woods and through one railway bridge and then you immediately turn left into an overgrown area. The cruising is located in the middle of a triangle formed by three railway lines which pass overhead (you cannot be seen from the passing trains). Alternatively, you can park in St Cuthbert's Road in Gateshead (free parking) and cross the footbridge over the A184, past the Network Rail depot and under a railway bridge and turn immediately right into the bushes (walking time: 5 minutes). Exact spot for the bushes, paths into woods, railway arches for cruising:- Map: 54.961915, -1.614066 What3Words: ///nerve.cute.zips https://w3w.co/nerve.cute.zips Nearest Parking: Pipewellgate Car Park £2.70 all day GPS: 54.964789, -1.611086 What3Words: ///highs.gasp.smart or nearest free parking at St Cuthbert's Road GPS: 54.961058, -1.609700 What3Words: ///butter.ally.deaf The path which leads to the cruising area is at: Southern side (from the River Tyne or Rabbit Banks Road/Pipewellgate car park) GPS: 54.961724, -1.615255 What3Words: ///alien.dips.crab Northern side: (from St Cuthbert's Road/Askew Road, Gateshead) GPS: 54.961363, -1.612431 What3W: ///good.cherry.drops Exact spot for cruising the arches and bushes:- Map: 54.961915, -1.614066 What3Words: ///nerve.cute.zips https://w3w.co/nerve.cute.zips Nearest Parking: Pipewellgate Car Park £2.70 all day GPS: 54.964789, -1.611086 What3Words: ///highs.gasp.smart or nearest free parking at St Cuthbert's Road GPS: 54.961058, -1.609700 What3Words: ///butter.ally.deaf The path which leads to the cruising area is at: Southern side (from Rabbit Banks Road/Pipewellgate car park/RiverT yne) GPS: 54.961724, -1.615255 What3Words: ///alien.dips.crab Northern side: (from St Cuthbert's Road, Gateshead) GPS: 54.961363, -1.612431 What3W: ///good.cherry.drops From Newcastle city centre, use any of the foot or road bridges (High Level Bridge or Swing Bridge) to cross the River Tyne to the south bank (Gateshead). You're heading for Pipewellgate car park. Once at Pipewellgate car park, park and walk along the River Tyne westwards for five minutes until you come under the prominent landmark King George VII railway bridge. When you walk under the bridge, you will immediately see a path snaking up through the woods to the left. Follow this, go through one short pedestrian railway tunnel and you will see a track into the bushes and undergrowth off to the left. This whole area - formed as a triangle by three railway lines - is cruisy. Alternatively from Gateshead, park for free in St Cuthbert's Road, cross the A184 Askew Road on the footbridge, and come down and keep walking straight towards the Network Rail depot. The path then turns left, with the Network Rail depot on your right (Network Rail depot is located on Riversdale Road, south of Askew Road, Gateshead NE8 2TD). Walk down the steep path through an arched pedestrian tunnel and as you come down the path splits and all the undergrowth and bushes off to the right is cruisy. The area is very much in decline: there is graffiti everywhere, one of the arches has been used for rough sleeping and there is a lot of dumped furniture and clothing. Due to this high level of neglect and the dense undergrowth, it is ideal for cruising and is not used by other members of the public. The amount of sex litter indicates it is well frequented.
