Best of both worlds This reinvention has helped to put us on the national and international map as a modern, compact and culturally vibrant European city with a strong identity. It’s a place where businesses prosper and people enjoy a quality of life that’s second to none. NewcastleGateshead has everything: it’s historic but chic, easy to get around and offers excellent shopping, restaurants, museums, galleries and cinemas which are complemented by a year-round programme of festivals and events to keep the whole family entertained. Connected seven breathtaking bridges with its neighbour Gateshead, together they form the ideal place to set up business and set up home.

  • The Way of the Sea
    1 The Way of the Sea Jarrow to Warkworth Introduction The Way of the Sea has been set up as one of the new Northern Saints Trails to provide a link between Warkworth on St Oswald's Way and another new Northern Saints Trail, The Way of Learning. Linking these three routes together provides a continuous 124 mile pilgrimage route between Lindisfarne and Durham. This route can of course be walked in either direction. When we think of the Northern Saints like Aidan and Cuthbert, we rightly think of them as great walkers and it’s likely that they will sometimes have walked along this coast, but actually it’s probably more likely that they will have taken the actual way of the sea! Aidan was closely linked with monastic settlements in South Shields and Hartlepool, so he probably sailed from Lindisfarne to those places which would have been quicker and, before the Vikings started their raids, safer too. The Way of the Sea itself is 62 kilometres or 38.5 miles in length. You may occasionally find Northern Saints Trails signs, but this route is the same as the England Coast Path all the way from North Shields to Warkworth so follow the ECP signs which are frequent. Sometimes you may see an acorn symbol as the ECP is one of the National Trails. You will also find Northumberland Coast Path signs between Cresswell and Warkworth. The coastal path itself generally stays on the higher ground, but in some places such as Druridge or Whitley bays you may prefer to walk on the sand.
