The River Tyne /ˈtaɪn/ is a river in North East England and its length (excluding tributaries) is 62 miles (100 km). It is formed by the confluence of two rivers: the North Tyne and the South Tyne. These two rivers converge at Warden Rock near Hexham in Northumberland at a place dubbed 'The Meeting of the Waters'.
