Explore the North
Newcastle effortlessly blends history and modernity. The imposing Roman castle sits opposite trendy microbreweries, the 19th edifices of Grey Street house chic bars and restaurants, and department stores are just a short walk from modern art galleries. The beautiful Northumberland coast and Dark Sky Park are within a short drive, or travel further north and find yourself in the quaint Scottish border town of Berwick upon Tweed. Scotland is just 75 miles from our Newcastle port, and you can reach Edinburgh in only two hours.
