A small-group guided walking tour of Newcastle’s highlights, from Grainger Town and medieval traces to the Castle keep and High Level Bridge views.
“Our tour guide provided so much insight into both historical and current information. This is a must for a first-time visitor to Newcastle.”
Explore Newcastle Castle with annual admission covering Castle Keep and Black Gate. Mobile ticket, flexible return for a year.
“Attempting to view the historic NEWCASTLE keep and castle without a guide , was one of the most unprofessional experiences I have had.”
A 2-hour Farne Islands cruise from Seahouses to Longstone Lighthouse with skipper George, seals, seabirds, and an optional interior visit.
“Weather not great but well worth the money. Lads on the boat did a great job detailing wildlife and attractions. Visit to lighthouse interesting, note that you don't get to go trigger to the top !”
Walk the Pilgrims’ Path across the sands to Holy Island with guide Ray, panoramic Lindisfarne Priory views, and a one-way car return.
“A safe way to cross the sand/mud to Holy island. Footwear was optional, most of use chose to go barefoot across. Nice small group. Guide was knowledgeable and informative. Stopped a few times with some history, but not too long. Open to further questions if you had some. After crossing and on Holy island, had about an hour and a half of free time before being driven back. NB: the walk is one way and car lift back. You can not walk back due to the tidal times.”
A 1.5-hour guided medieval walk in Newcastle with included castle entry at Black Gate and Castle Keep, plus stories of trade, faith, and power.
“Great medieval tour of the city. Lots of interesting stories, facts and things to see. The tour guide was engaging and had lots of hidden jems. We got recommendations for great pubs and restaurants by walking around.”
Newcastle True Crime evening walk through Grainger Town, Bigg Market, the Castle and Quayside with a guide and photos.
“A great experience. Amanda was very knowledgeable and it was fascinating to learn of the murderous past of Newcastle. We would thoroughly recommend the tour, for locals and foreigners alike.”
Every kind of day out in the country, best first.
