We may be slightly biased about our fantastic home city, but show me a person who leaves here disap- pointed and we'll admit defeat. Newcastle possesses a vibrant atmosphere like no other. Whether it be by day on the bustling hives of Northumberland Street and Grey Street, or at night on the World Class Quayside or eyebrow raising Bigg Market. Hadrians Wall is a short drive from There is however it must be said, a lot more to Newcastle that overweight Newcastle Football Supporters, Cheryl Cole and Geordie Shore! The people of Newcas- tle are exceptionally friendly, welcoming and hospitable. The Rugby Clubs up here are of a tight-knit nature and welcome anyone daring to make the jour- ney to this ‘quieter’ part of the UK! Situated on the River Tyne's north bank, the city boasts a 2,000-year-old his- tory and is filled with the most classical listed buildings in the UK. Although the city really only reached prominence in the Industrial Revolu- tion, it has long been a capital and defensive point of the north of England for the Romans and Saxons respectively. The city's origins as a Roman town are still evident in Hadrian's Wall, whose A Newcastle Falcons match at ruins can be seen stretching eastwards to Wallsend. Along the route of the Kingston Park is a great night out! famous Wall, you will find the stunning Northumbrian countryside. Brilliantly overlooked by visitors heading to the Lake District, Scottish Highlands and the Yorkshire Dales, the area boasts rural beauty rarely matched in the UK.
