What you can expect

  • Newcastle is famed for its warm and vibrant culture, so it makes sense that the 'Toon' has so many stories to uncover.

    Join me on this entertaining and illuminating walk through the city streets from the elegance of Grey's monument to the medieval warren of Quayside where we emerge onto the riverfront for spectacular views of Newcastle's famous bridges.

    Along the way you'll hear about local figures such as Thomas Bewick, dive into a few ghost stories, and get a feel for Geordie culture, past and present, along with the city's long relationship with pubs, nightlife, and a good night out.

    Expect a mix of well known sights, overlooked details, and stories that bring the place to life. By the end, you'll have a much clearer sense of how Newcastle fits together and a few recommendations of where to go next.
