Tyne confluence

The Tyne confluence is where the North Tyne and South Tyne rivers meet to form the River Tyne, located near the village of Acomb and Warden Rock, close to Hexham in Northumberland. This spot is traditionally known as "The Meeting of the Waters."

For paddlers, the confluence marks the end of the North Tyne gorge section, where the river widens and deepens before narrowing again under the A69 road bridge and continuing downstream toward Hexham and Tyne Green.

It serves as a natural access or egress point, with the combined Tyne offering a straightforward stretch of water from here onward.
