Newcastle Castle

Newcastle Castle Steeped in history, this Norman fortress is a rugged reminder of northern England’s turbulent past.
(450)

A defensive fortification throughout medieval times, Newcastle Castle is situated a short walk down the Grade I-listed 19th century Grey Street and in a prominent position overlooking the city's iconic Quayside. Occupied for nearly 2000 years, the area is a naturally defensible site with steep sides overlooking and running down to the River Tyne. Begin your journey by checking in with your pre-pur

chased tickets at the Castle Keep. Visitors can explore all four floors of this Scheduled Ancient Monument and The Black Gate.
