Destinations » Europe » British Isles » Newcastle Upon Tyne


With a 2000 year-old history, and picturesque location in the heart of Northumbria, Newcastle is an awesome sight, with its River Tyne crossed by six bridges, each one with a story all its own - the latest one being Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The main shopping street in the city is Northumberland Street, and most of the top attractions can be seen on foot in the city center.

Attractions

From Earl Grey's Monument, stroll Grey Street and enjoy its fine Georgian architecture - including the impressive Theatre Royal. The Castle Keep is on the site of an 11th century 'New Castle' built by William the Conqueror's son. Don’t miss Blackfriars, a 13th century Dominican monastery - and Hadrian's Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and perhaps the most important monument built by the Romans in Britain. Tour its forts and turrets or simply walk a span of it through the magnificent countryside.
