Plenty of places to stay, so accommodation is no problem with lots of hotels. There museums, art galleries, churches and theatres to visit and it seems to have become a favourite venue for trips to night clubs, though a wild nightclub was never my scene! The Baltic Arts Centre, Millennium Bridge, the giant arches of the Tyne Bridge and The Sage Theatre and Concert Hall above the Gateshead Quays all provide a wonderful backdrop to walking by the River Tyne. Newcastle can be readily reached by road, rail, flights and coach.
* The north-east of England is as varied as anywhere in the country with much to offer the tourist with lots of interested places and buildings to visit whether in the City of Newcastle or the surrounding coast landscape and countryside, villages and towns of County Durham and Northumbria ('Northumberland') * page updated Feb 3rd 2008 * EMAIL Phil Brown * Images-photographs-pictures-photos-webshots-photos-views-scenes © Dr W P Brown |
