Newcastle Castle
Newcastle Castle
Castle Garth, Newcastle | NE1 1RQ | Tyne and Wear
The Vibe: This is where the city got its name! It’s a rugged, medieval stronghold right in the middle of the modern city centre.
What to See: Explore the dark, winding staircases and the Great Hall. The real winner is the roof-top walk—it’s one of the highest points in the city and the views are incredible.
Important Bits: It’s a steep climb with lots of steps, so it’s not great for pushchairs or those who struggle with stairs. Budget Tip: Your ticket is usually valid for a whole year, so keep it safe for a free return visit. Parking is best at the nearby Dean Street multi-storey.
