The City That Surprises Everyone
Romans, Vikings, Scots — and the most beautiful street in Britain
Newcastle Upon Tyne is the last great English city before the Scottish border — and it is genuinely extraordinary. Its heritage carries the imprint of Romans, marauding Vikings and invading Scots, and that layered history is visible everywhere you look. Once famous for coal, shipbuilding and heavy industry, it has been transformed over recent decades into one of the most celebrated weekend destinations in Britain.
Our walking tour takes in the famous quayside, the cathedrals, medieval walls, Roman remains and Georgian streets that more than match those of Edinburgh or Bath. Newcastle even boasts the street voted the most beautiful urban street in the whole of Great Britain.
