OPEN TOP BUS TOUR OF NEWCASTLE GATESHEAD
The banks of the River Tyne have been settled for nearly 2,000 years, but the ‘new castle’ appeared here in 1080! In Elizabethan times coal brought wealth and power to the City, as well as its other great industry – shipbuilding.
The home of the ‘magpies’, Newcastle is now a vibrant, forward-looking City offering the best in culture and architecture!
