Newcastle upon Tyne is in the North East of England, approximately 46 miles from the Scottish border. The Castle Keep was built in the 1300s, and many structures along the banks of the River Tyne were built in the 1400s. The quayside has been extensively regenerated and has the Swing Bridge, which was the first road bridge in the world.

It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and coastline, secondly that it is home to Newcastle United Football club, thirdly that there is an interesting history to this region (eg the location of the first steam engine and the first power grid) and finally that there are lots of clubs to join and restaurants and pubs to enjoy.

Newcastle is a busy, vibrant city of middling size. With a rich industrial history, it has impressive Edwardian and Victorian architecture, much of which has been converted into fascinating museums or luxurious accommodation. The Quayside in particular is beautiful and well worth a visit; especially on a Sunday when the weekly market is held.

Newcastle upon Tyne is a city steeped in history, juxtaposed with more modern and contemporary landmarks, offering a rich and diverse culture. There are six beautiful bridges over the River Tyne. It is just a 20-minute drive to the beach so tourists can enjoy the vast coastlines by day and explore the bustling nightlife, bars and restaurants by night. With hotels, museums, theatres, concert halls, amazing architecture and a huge shopping centre all within a short walk from our Central train station, it’s the perfect tourist resort for a weekend city break.
