Gateway Feature, Bedlington Country Park In 2017, four gateway features were chosen to be placed at strategic points for visitors to see as they entered the town by road. All are inextricably linked by their commercial, religious or social heritage to the town. At this entrance to the town near Bedlington Bridge and the River Blyth is a scale replica of the first steam train in Holland (1839), 'De Arend', a train which was built in Bedlington by R. B.
