Newcastle, sitting right on the north bank of the River Tyne, is one of those cities that effortlessly blends old and new. It's got that unmistakable character, with grand Victorian buildings rubbing shoulders with sleek modern architecture, all stitched together by the Geordie warmth you'll feel as soon as you set foot there. The city centre buzzes day and night, packed with shops, bars, restaurants and an unmistakable energy that seems to spill out onto the streets. The Tyne bridges, especially the iconic Tyne Bridge and Gateshead Millennium Bridge, frame the skyline like something out of a postcard.

The story of Newcastle-upon-Tyne goes way back to Roman times, when they built Pons Aelius as a fort along Hadrian's Wall. William the Conqueror's son built the “new castle” that gave the city its name in 1080. Through the centuries, Newcastle became a powerhouse of industry, driven by coal mining, shipbuilding and engineering, all fed by the mighty River Tyne. By the Victorian era, the city was booming, its wealth reflected in stunning buildings and bridges. These days, it's transformed again, thriving on education, digital industries, tourism and the arts. The population of the city itself sits around 300,000, while the wider Tyneside area is home to over 800,000.

If you're visiting, you won't be short of things to see. Right in the city, there's the magnificent Newcastle Castle, St Nicholas' Cathedral, the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, and the sleek Sage Gateshead just across the river. The Quayside is perfect for a stroll, while Grey Street and Grainger Town offer beautiful architecture and boutique shopping. Step just outside the city, and you'll find National Trust gems like Gibside with its grand Georgian estate, and Seaton Delaval Hall with its dramatic history. English Heritage looks after Tynemouth Priory and Castle, perched dramatically above the sea, and the nearby Hadrian's Wall stretches west offering countless Roman sites like Housesteads and Chesters Roman Fort. Further north, Cragside House, run by the National Trust, showcases Victorian innovation amidst beautiful grounds.

Across the wider Tyne and Wear area, Sunderland offers its own coastal charm with Roker and Seaburn beaches, as well as the National Glass Centre. South Shields has the popular Ocean Beach Pleasure Park and miles of golden sands. Washington has the Washington Wetland Centre and Washington Old Hall, steeped in history linked to the family of George Washington. Gateshead's Metrocentre remains one of Europe's largest shopping malls, drawing in crowds from far and wide, while the Angel of the North looms proudly just off the A1, impossible to miss.

Getting into and around Newcastle's fairly straightforward. The A1 runs right past, making road access easy whether you're coming up from London or down from Edinburgh. The East Coast Main Line keeps trains running fast and frequent to London, Leeds, York and Edinburgh, while local trains cover Durham, Sunderland and beyond. Newcastle International Airport sits just to the northwest, offering flights across the UK, Europe and a few long-haul destinations. The Tyne and Wear Metro links much of the region together, with stations all across Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland and the coastal areas, making it easy to zip about without needing a car.

Tyne and Wear itself is one of England's newer counties, only officially formed in 1974, bringing together Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead, North Tyneside and South Tyneside. Despite its fairly modern administrative roots, the area's steeped in history, from Roman legacies and Norman castles to its industrial heyday and modern cultural rebirth. Sitting between Northumberland and County Durham, Tyne and Wear packs a lot into a small space, with city bustle, coastal beauty, countryside escapes and a rich sense of identity.
