Take a tour of Gateshead Millenium Bridge in United Kingdom -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.

Hi I am Naomi and I am very excited to show you the world's greatest attractions.

Often called the blinking, or winking eye bridge, The Gateshead Millenium Bridge is an ingenious structure.

In some ways it resembles a giant harp suspended over the River Thames, pedestrians and cyclists use this curved and sloped bridge to cross from bank to bank, but what really makes this bridge interesting is what happens when boat traffic needs to pass.

The entire bridge tilts back forty degrees to let boats through on the Thame.

It is the appearance that this movement has from the river that gives the Millenium bridge its nickname.

Thank you for watching our travel video series see you next time.
