This is why you NEED to visit Newcastle Upon Tyne | England’s MOST Underrated City
Welcome to my vlog of Newcastle upon Tyne, I’m proud to be bringing you to my home! Join me as I explore some of the most iconic landmarks and hidden gems that this city has to offer.
We’ll start by strolling along the iconic Quayside, with its famous bridges and scenic riverside views. Then, we’ll walk through the charming streets of the city center, taking in the stunning Georgian and Victorian architecture, including the famous Grey Street and Grainger Town. As a season ticket holder of Newcastle United, I’ll also give you a sneak peak of St James’ Park on a match day, and a glimpse of what all us Geordies are passionate about. To finish off on our first day exploring, we’ll also visit a few of the free museums such as the Discovery Museum, The Hancock Museum and the Laing Art Gallery.
Day 2 brings a lovely little surprise of snowfall, and we begin at Grey’s Monument, this time working our way through Grainger Town, and passing the bustling Grainger Market, where you can find a wide array of local products and delicious food. A quick stop off at The Big Market, then we head towards the grand Central Station, then into a hidden gem, the Lit and Phil.
I’ll then take you into St Nicholas’ Cathedral, which I had never been in before, and then along to Newcastle’s Castle Keep, which gave Newcastle its name.
As promised, finishing off with a lovely surprise, we’ll be heading down into the dark with Victoria Tunnel Tours. I found exploring the Victoria Tunnel fascinating, and really enjoyed the stories and history alongside it.
It took a lot of planning, researching, and editing to finally get this video out, so I really hope you enjoyed it and it wasn’t too boring. If you all enjoy this video, I may very well make a part 2, picking up on some stuff I missed out, but also including some other things to see and do which are slightly outside of the city.
