Discover some highlights
One of Tyne & Wear’s greatest assets is its coastline - just a short Metro ride from the hustle and bustle. Travel just minutes from the city and you can sample local fresh fish in one of the region's finest restaurants.
If you have a couple of hours
to spare, or even a whole day,
NewcastleGateshead and
Sunderland offer a variety of
activities - energetic and not so
energetic - that you can try right
there in the city.
Did you know that over half
of Gateshead is made up of
countryside? There is so much to
see and do in rural Gateshead; and it’s
all just a short bus ride away from
central NewcastleGateshead.
