Once an industrial ship-building port,
Newcastle has remained, until recent years, an industrial
city. However, an impressive regeneration programme
has helped to turn Newcastle into a highly desirable
cruise port. Visit nearby Hadrian’s
Wall to learn more of the region’s
role in protecting the most Northern outpost of the
Roman Empire. Head North to the wonderful new gardens
at Alnwick
Castle – a modern take on the extravagant
gardens of European Chateaux, or remain in Newcastle
for a rewarding city tour.
