It's the best way to navigate newcastle (any directions you get will probably be from here or the metro station under it), and if it's sunny you'll see people of all stripes competing for a space to sit and soak in the rays. Great place to people watch and eat lunch. More

I have been to Newcastle and seen Grey's Monument many times but one thing that certainly doesn't stay the same everytime you visit is the atmosphere and what's happening around the monument.

If you ever get the change to go up the monument, take it. They allow people up the monument a few times each year and you have to book tickets in advance to do this.

Sits at the top of a very nice road, worth a walk down. Also by the art gallery- again worth a visit if in the area. More
