111 PLACES IN NEWCASTLE THAT YOU SHOULDNT MISS

Newcastle and Gateshead present a heady mix of the old and new: both were industrial powerhouses that have successfully reinvented themselves as vibrant places of entertainment and culture. With this book in hand, journey over and under the Tyne to discover treasures such as the steam turbine ship Turbinia; wander across the Town Moor where President Jimmy Carter has the right to graze cattle; take in Saltwell Towers, an eccentric castle in leafy surroundings; and enjoy a pint in a pub where the ghost of Charles I may make an appearance.
