City guide

Newcastle Upon Tyne

Newcastle is a compact, hilly city stacked along the Tyne gorge, its skyline stitched together by six dramatic bridges. Grand Georgian streets and a legendarily loud, friendly nightlife scene sit alongside real post-industrial creativity in Ouseburn's studios and music venues. Football runs deep too - St James' Park looms directly over the city centre - and the coast and Northumberland countryside are barely half an hour away.
