What travellers are saying
- VINCENT T1 contributionIt was very interesting. Mike is a font of knowledge on the subject. He has a great personality too which made it so much better.
I really hope more or all of the tunnel can be opened at some point. It would be great to walk the whole 2 miles.Written 31 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Exceptional Value for money and you can feel the passion pumping through the veins of Carol the guide! ....
Every person gets a collector lanyard and metal badge, endless pictures opportunity for everyone, lots of interesting stories. You get to sit in the VIP area, in the Coorporate boxes, behind the desk of the media suit like you see on TV. The kids even got filmed coming out of the tunnel with music on and they were all beaming! AMAZING! My boys are over the moon. Carol and Jill were great. Your lanyard gives you a cheeky discount after the tour at the NUFC Boutique and Shearer's. DEFFO recommend! Football REALLY IS a religion in Newcastle!Written 31 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great place for a selfie of the Tyne bridges.Written 13 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sandancer77Wemyss Bay, UK1,955 contributionsThis was our first visit here. Got Metro to Jesmond station and walked to the park in about 20 minutes. There’s plenty of benches and picnic tables dotted around. There’s a cafe, toilets, waterfall, old mill and much more. It’s a pleasant place to take a walk on a sunny day. The animal corner was nice. There is goats, birds, Guinea pigs etc… Definitely worth a visit!Written 13 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rollercolinAshford, UK554 contributionsAn excellent museum, free to enter but we happily donated on the way out as it was so good. It's on a few floors with a cafe on the fourth floor. The staff were all friendly and helpful.Written 25 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- apophisguardStoke-on-Trent, UK2,054 contributionsOne of the best Castles I've visited. To me, it was architecturally akin to Bran Castle in Romania - well, I thought so.
The Castle is in two parts. The first is a bit like a German fortified tower, which has a number of floors all with superb displays and information boards. The second part is on the other side of the rail tracks. For some reason in the past, some lunatic decided to run the railway right through the castle!!!??? That said, it is practically a complete keep. Again, lots of rooms and passageways to explore, with loads of information and displays to view. The view from the top of the keep is amazing on a good day.
Staff were amazing and I spent quite some time talking with one of the girls about Roman history.
Will visit again!Written 10 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Lynn GWashington, UK78 contributionsThe history of the main bridge
Original Tyne bridge Medieval time
When the medieval bridge was partially swept away by the Great Flood of 1771, it left the towns of Newcastle and Gateshead without a road link. The only way of crossing the River Tyne was by ferry, and trade and commerce suffered badly.
The following year a temporary wooden bridge costing £3,000 became operational and it was eventually decided the old bridge was unsalvageable, and what remained of it would have to be pulled down and a new one built.
Tyne or George VI, that is the recognised one came next in 1928, the plans of which went next to Australia for Sydney Harbour bridge. My photos show the Tyne Bridge, the Brick Tyne Bridge and today's Tyne Bridge being built.Written 23 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EdwardSanta Rosa, CA1,800 contributionsGrey Street is a magnificent street of Georgian architecture which forms one of the key parts of central Newcastle. This city has thankfully revived greatly from a significant decline in the 1960s and 1970s, and this is particularly nice since it really is a very lovely and striking city with beautiful streets and views beyond even the iconic scenes along the Tyne and its bridges. Grey Street is one of the most magnificent parts of the city. It is lined with a cohesive set of grand Georgian buildings and, with its gentle curves as it descends/ascends a gentle slope, this provides a particularly striking and scenic view. Moreover, it is partly pedestrianised and lined with cafes, pubs, restaurants, and shops, with much nice outdoor seating along the street, the pedestrianised quality making it especially pleasant and peaceful. Grey Street is at the heart of what has to be one of the grandest sets of Georgian urban architecture in the country. This is a magnificent urban scene worthy of any great city.Written 11 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Han WylieNewcastle upon Tyne, UK4 contributionsStunning art gallery, loved the variety of art forms presented. Additionally the day I went there was an ancient Egyptian art exhibit. So interesting and beautiful.Written 25 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ThebeatgoesGlasgow, UK21 contributionsI thought it was a nice diversion for three hours. My teenage son found it a little young for him. My pre teen son loved it. Planetarium was good. The age range is probably pre teen and below and at that level I think it a good museum. It very hands on and if it was busy then I can see it would be less fun.Written 31 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SophyNExeter, UK13 contributionsWant a nightie? Or a bagel? Some black pudding or a wig? How about whelks, records, vintage T-shirts, some geordie themed aprons or heavenly glass of sherry. All this and more at the fabulous Grainger Market, which I have to confess we didn’t even know about until our short break in Newcastle. A must not miss gem in a brilliant city.Written 19 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
