Newcastle
Deeply rooted in tradition but incredibly hip, Newcastle finds its base in northeast England. The city has rested on the north bank of the River Tyne for over 2,000 years. What was once darkest coal country is now transforming with new art galleries, concert halls, fine restaurants, hotels and booming bars.
Day Trips/Events in Newcastle
Northeast England is peppered with some of the country’s greatest attractions. An easy drive outside the city presents the three C’s, castles, coast and countryside. The city of Durham is nearby and prides itself on its Norman cathedral. Hadrian’s Wall radiates due to its World Heritage status. Of course, travellers can remain close to Newcastle and visit Gateshead, technically the other town on the south bank of the River Tyne.
With a yearlong program of events, Newcastle buzzes with great festivals, concerts, and sporting events. One of the country’s leading food and drink festivals takes place in Newcastle. EAT! Newcastle Gateshead blankets all with the aroma of tasty treats. More active travellers can partake in a biking event that races through the town while art lovers take in all the architectural festivals hitting Newcastle.
Eating Out in Newcastle
From home cooked local favourites to contemporary fine dining, Newcastle’s eating opportunities are diverse and tasty. When the weather turns cool, as it often does, coffee houses fill with those looking for warm beverages. Predictably, Newcastle also caters to those just looking for a good batch of fish and chips.
Things to see/do in Newcastle
