Angel of the North: Situated in Newcastle's Gateshead region, the Angel of the North is a modern sculpture of an angel and, although built recently, is one of Newcastle's most prominent attractions.
Tynemouth Castle and Priory: Built as far back as the 11th Century, the Tynemouth Castle and Priory are recognised as significant historic landmarks. The scenic views from the site are spectacular, so too are the gun batteries and large cemetery.
Gateshead Millenium Bridge: Towering above the River Tyne, the Millenium Bridge is an eye-catching architectural feat that is renowned worldwide.
Hadrian's Wall: Built by the Romans around AD122, Hadrian's Wall is a historic landmark that signifies the Roman Empire's northern-most reign at the time of the wall's construction.
Markets: Newcastle could quite rightly be classified as a market city because the town hosts a vast array of colourful markets that imbue the city with character. The Armstrong Bridge Market, the Newcastle Farmers' Market, the Quayside Market, the Tynemouth Flea Market, the Grainger Market and the Greenmarket; but to name a few.
