    I went with my dad earlier today and it was really informative and I learned a lot about what the tunnels were like when in use.
    The guides Tish and Mal were friendly and full of facts.
    Trish and Mal were also inclusive and understanding about people with special needs which I appreciated. Thank you for the visitors book you gave me, i will be taking it to school tomorrow.
    I would recommend this for everyone.

    Great city to spend a couple of days. Friendly place with lots to see and do. We ate some great food and stayed at The Vermont Hotel which was superb.

    Excellent museum. A real must if you are visiting Newcastle. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to get round it as there is a lot to see.

    I have my own company for almost 25 years and I have seen the whole world, been to many different countries and places but Newcastle is the best place to be.
    What I really like about this city is the friendly peolpe arround here.
    You can sit at a bar not knowning anybody and people start talking with you and at the end of the evening you get a hug from somebody you have never ever seen or met before.

    It is a fact that the wau you go up North, the moe friendly the become.

    I really love this city and the people love live within.
    Best place to be after so many years travelling all over the World

    What happened to Old Tyne Bridge?

    The stone bridge was constructed but then damaged by flood in 1339. Repairs proved costly and took place in sections: it was not fully repaired, as a part stone and part wooden bridge, until the 16th century and wasĀ part destroyed by a great flood in November 1771.

    First visit for many years - really loved it. Favourite was the Roman room with so much fascinating to see. Of course the natural history displays are good too. Definitely worth a visit if you have some interest in the local area.
    Added benefit: a lovely little cafe, with a deliciouls freshly made sandwich for lunch, happy noises from bunches of school childern, and it is FREE. (The suggested Ā£5 donation is still great value.)

    I went there in the morning when most of the shops were not open yet. Appreciating the Georgian architecture in such tranquil atmosphere was a delight.

    An interesting find and worth a visit to see the various art and crafts available. Lots on offer and worth a detour.

    The goods are displayed over 2 floors with nooks and crannies to explore everything from pantings to sculpture, glass works to jewellery and more. Lots of works from many varied skilled craftspeople available to buy or just enjoy. No pressure and you can browse and enjoy.

    Often they have exhibits or 'shows'. Regrettably we just missed one.
