⛵ Join us for an extraordinary 48-hour adventure through Newcastle! Our adventure kicks off on the iconic Quayside, where we explore the stunning array of bridges spanning the River Tyne, including the historical Tyne Bridge, the modern Millennium Bridge, and the engineering marvel of the Swing Bridge.
🏛️ Delve into Newcastle's rich history as we wander past the longest remaining section of the medieval town walls and head towards the heart of the city, unveiling its celebrated landmarks. Marvel at the Earl Grey Monument and uncover the intriguing connection between the former Prime Minister and the famous tea that bears his name. Wander down Grey Street, admire the architectural splendor of the Theatre Royal and the Central Arcade's early 20th-century decor.
🏰 Our journey continues through the lively Grainger Market, leading to the highlight of our first day: the majestic Newcastle Castle. Experience the stark contrast between the old and new as we explore the castle’s renovations and enjoy breathtaking views from its summit.
⛴️ Day two begins with a delicious breakfast at The Dispensary Coffee House, followed by a fascinating visit to the Discovery Museum, where we dive deep into Newcastle's shipbuilding heritage and connection to the River Tyne. A visit to the awe-inspiring Newcastle Cathedral reveals maritime history through its lantern tower and breathtaking interior, including stunning stained glass windows.
📕 Our adventure wouldn’t be complete without exploring the quirky side of Newcastle, such as the mysterious Vampire Rabbit. We also step into the world of literature and philosophy at the Lit and Phil, the largest independent library outside London. Our journey ends on a high note at the unique cocktail bar housed in a converted Victorian-era public toilet, showcasing Newcastle's innovative spirit.
❤️ Thank you for joining us on this incredible exploration of Newcastle! We've been touched by the warmth of the Geordies and the city's captivating blend of history and modernity. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more adventures. Next up, join us as we continue our European journey through the Scottish Highlands, Belfast, Dublin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Switzerland, and Vienna!

Thanks for doing this video on our city, I was born in Willington Quay, Wallsend, just down the river next to Tynemouth , Roman name Segedunum & far from being the end of the 73 mile long Roman wall, it's actually the start. I saw where you visited the Lit & Phil (one of my favourite buildings) &, where you've taken photos of the entrance some workman, digging a hole for utilities, stumbled upon a section of that same Roman wall, forgotten about for centuries...you both walked over it 😅 The Lit & Phil was used by many of Newcastle's most famous folks, George Stephenson (the Father of the Railways) & his son, Robert, the famous railway & bridge engineer , also Joseph Swan, the inventor of the lightbulb , Richard Grainger, the architect of Grainger Town (all those beautiful 19th century buildings so beloved of todays budding architects) ...hope we see you back again sometime 😊

Youll not find many places in the UK where people absolutely love the city they come from. Newcastle is an exception to that. Yet the rest or the country seems to be intent on being ignorant about its glory. Ive brought a few friends to newcastle and they were all absolutely shocked at how nice it is. They almost fell in love with it as much as i did, and im not even from there.

Glad you both enjoyed my hometown. The Tyne Bridge was built first and then the same architect build the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which is why they look very similar. They've just started restoration of the Tyne Bridge, to get it back to its former colour etc.

Its interesting to see a traveler's experience around a city centre I've lived in for 58 years. There's a lot of history around Newcastle and it's a hardworking, but fun place to live. Glad it wasn't just pissed up hen parties and stag parties on show. Yes, wa Geordies and (sometimes) mental... but also have a bit of culture about us too.
