Welcome to West Wylam

West Wylam is a small village located in Northumberland, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Tyne and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, dating back to the Roman times, and is home to several historic landmarks, including the Wylam Railway Bridge and the George Stephenson Birthplace Museum.

One of the most notable features of West Wylam is the Wylam Railway Bridge. This historic bridge was built in 1835 and was designed by George Stephenson, the famous railway engineer. The bridge was the first to be built using wrought iron and was a major engineering feat at the time. Today, the bridge is still in use and is a popular attraction for visitors to the village.

Another important landmark in West Wylam is the George Stephenson Birthplace Museum. This museum is dedicated to the life and work of George Stephenson, who is considered to be the father of the modern railway. The museum is located in the house where Stephenson was born and features exhibits on his life and work, as well as displays on the history of the railway. The museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history of transportation.
