Guide to Newcastle

Newcastle-upon-Tyne Virtual Tour

Newcastle, situated on the banks of the River Tyne, stands as one of Britain's oldest cities, with its roots dating back approximately two millennia to Roman times. It continues to serve as a vital port and economic hub, but visitors are drawn here for its captivating blend of ancient historical sites and modern entertainment offerings. This isn't a city you can explore in a single day.

The distinctive steel arches of the Millennium Bridge have become an iconic symbol of the city, and its unique leaning design makes it a must-see attraction. If you're inclined to start your journey with a dose of history, there's plenty to discover. Make a stop at Newcastle Castle, a fortress constructed eight centuries ago—an exceptionally well-preserved example of Norman architecture.

Newcastle's historical richness extends beyond the Middle Ages. Consider exploring Crossroads Benwell Vallum, a site rooted in antiquity. This ancient temple, established over two millennia ago in the village of Benwell, was dedicated to the Romano-British horned deity, Antenociticus. Here, you'll find ruins, ancient ramparts, legends, and tales from the past. Alongside its historical treasures, Newcastle boasts a vibrant nightclub culture, making it a city where both history buffs and night owls can find their delight.
