The city of Newcastle and its neighbour Gateshead have reached the headlines for a number of reasons over recent years;

The Millenium bridge which proudly joins the 2 towns spanning the River Tyne; The Angel of the North which gives a controversially artistic welcome to visitors from the South; the rich and varied nightlife of the Quayside and city centre; The Baltic Art Gallery dominating the quayside skyline and whose exhibitions have raised more than a few eyebrows in the past - the list is endless. Suffice to say, there is much to see and do both in the city and the surrounding area...

For something different try a visit to Newcastle's Victoria Tunnel - Experience a secret
underground world beneath the city’s streets. See how the Victorian
mine owners found a way to transport coal to Newcastle’s quayside
via a masterpiece of engineering. Find out about local residents who
sheltered underground during air raids in World War II.
