See the great medieval city walls, or what's left of them after the Scots breached them at this spot and surged into the city.

Not the most famous bridge but perhaps the best in Newcastle. With a road and walkways high over the river and an amazing view made all the more incredible as trains pass on the level above! Fantastic old engineering that changed Britain. Also the best place to see.....

See the famous Tyne Bridge, the most famous of the many bridges across the River Tyne and learn of why this design was chosen.

Perhaps the finest musical acoustics outside of London.

Now an iconic art gallery but once part of the old docks.

Our very own Millennium Bridge.... and it winks!

Once a hive of industrial activity now teeming with bars and restaurants with great views across the river to the Sage and Baltic Exchange buildings.

One of the few buildings in Newcastle that survive from the Jacobean Period

2,000 years ago the Roman Bridge stood here. Now is a not quite so old but incredibly impressive swing bridge. A fantastic part of Newcastle heritage built at a time when the city changed and led the world in so many areas.

The Romans first built a castle here and of course we are near one end of Hadrians Wall that spans the country to the Tyne which was then an impenetrable defensive barrier.

The current Norman castle is pretty much built on and over the old Roman one but we can see some foundations and ruins nearby and find out exactly why they are here.

Built in 1247, this formidable 'new' entrance to the castle has a history as grim as its name suggests!

We'll go inside this beautiful old and very distinctive Cathedral.

It's been described and voted as the most beautiful Urban street in Britain with fine Georgian buildings and a delicate sloping curve. The very heart of Newcastle.

Newcastle’s Theatre Royal is one of only 9 Grade I listed theatre halls in England, the city’s theatre is often regarded as the finest theatre building in the country.

Enjoy the sights and sounds of the most famous authentic Victorian market in Newcastle.

One of the most beautiful period shopping arcades in Britain.

A Newcastle landmark for one of the great figures of history.

The heart of the modern city. Home of Bainbridge's, the very first John Lewis. We also have an original Marks & Spencers in the market. The street is the most expensive on per squared foot to own a shop outside of London with 34 million visitors a year!

Newcastle has a long history of engineering excellence and is now a centre of Bio-medical research, not that you'd know by these beautiful old buildings.

Inside the grounds of the university we can visit the state for Dr Martin Luther King who famously visited to receive a Doctorate here.

Home of one of the historical great football teams. Now sadly in the doldrums but hopefully not for long!

See some of the medieval walls that at one point surrounded the city from the invading Scots!

As a maritime city, Newcastle has long had a thriving Chinatown.

Away from the crowds is this delightful old historic quarter.

The Roman Catholic Cathedral.
