===North Tyne===
The Ordnance Survey records 'the source of the '''North Tyne''' river' at grid reference NY 605974<ref>{{cite web |title=Wheresthepath |url=https://wtp2recorder.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm |access-date=22 November 2024}}</ref> at Deadwater, a few tens of metres short of the Scottish border. It flows southeast through the village of [[Kielder]] before entering first [[Bakethin Reservoir]] and then [[Kielder Water]], both set within [[Kielder Forest]]. It then passes by the village of [[Bellingham, Northumberland|Bellingham]] before the [[River Rede]] enters as a left-bank tributary at [[Redesmouth]]. It passes [[Hadrian's Wall]] near [[Chollerford]] before joining the South Tyne near Warden to the northwest of Hexham.

===South Tyne===
The '''South Tyne''' rises at Tyne Head on [[Alston, Cumbria|Alston Moor]], [[Cumbria]] close to the sources of the [[River Tees|Tees]] and the [[River Wear|Wear]]. Initially it flows north through the [[North Pennines]] [[Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty]] (AONB), enters Northumberland downstream of Alston and turns to the east as it approaches the town of [[Haltwhistle]]. Paralleling Hadrian's Wall which lies to the north, the river continues past [[Redburn]] and [[Haydon Bridge]] to join the North Tyne at Warden. This low level east-west corridor through the Pennines is referred to as the Tyne Gap.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tyne Gap and Hadrian's Wall |url=https://nationalcharacterareas.co.uk/tyne-gap-and-hadrians-wall/description/ |website=National Character Area profiles |publisher=Natural England |access-date=22 November 2024}}</ref>

===Tyne===
From the [[confluence]] of the North and South Tyne at Warden, the river flows east through Northumberland by Hexham, [[Corbridge]] and [[Prudhoe]] and enters the county of [[Tyne and Wear]] to the east of [[Wylam]]. The river subsequently forms the boundary between [[Newcastle upon Tyne]] on the north bank and the [[Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead|Borough of Gateshead]] on the south bank for {{convert|13|mi|0}}, in the course of which it flows under ten bridges. To the east of Gateshead and Newcastle, the Tyne divides [[Hebburn]] and [[Jarrow]] on the south bank from [[Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne|Walker]] and [[Wallsend]] on the north bank. The [[Tyne Tunnel]] runs under the river to link Jarrow and Wallsend. Finally the river flows between [[South Shields]] and [[Tynemouth]] into the [[North Sea]].<ref name=Rtyne2013>{{cite web
