  • In this video we will hopefully prove to you that The North is in fact NOT grim, but filled to the brim with art, great food, seaside views and the most beautiful of parks! So if you're doing a bit of research on what to see and eat in Newcastle, look no further.
    This one is for all of you who are considering making a stop in Newcastle upon Tyne on your way up to Scotland, or anyone who's looking for a cool destination for a day trip or a weekend from Edinburgh. I promise you will love Newcastle, its majestic architecture and temperature-blind sense of nightlife fashion!

      You should pop down to the Ouseburn on your next visit then; there are loads of independent studios like Mushroom Works, great little pubs that do nice lunches and a city farm to explore as well as Seven Stories. If you time a visit during one of the open studio nights you can go and wander through all the art studios and a lot of the artists do activities.

    • @rule_brittania2142
      @rule_brittania2142 3 години тому

      There is a market on the bridge at Jesmond Dene's Armstrong Bridge on the first and third Saturday every month, I believe it is mainly food, but it means you can grab some fresh food to have a picnic by the waterfall. There is a lovely grassy area just to the side of the main waterfall that is really nice for a picnic.

    I'm an American ex-pat living in Newcastle, you got some really good places in, but there is so much more. We are partial to Tynemouth as we live down the road and my son goes to school there (also his school has been a school there longer than the United States has been the United States!). You should time a visit to check out Tynemouth Market, it is more antique and collectables than Quayside but it does also have a good selection of food stalls as well. Whitley Bay is great to get a gelato and walk on the beach up to the lighthouse. I also always suggest the Ouseburn, which is right outside of the city centre and has loads of art studios as well as music venues and good eateries (for kiddos it also has a city farm and independent children's book centre Seven Stories). The Ouseburn is especially great if you can time a visit with either seeing a concert at any of the venues or time your visit to coincide with an open studio or late night show event when many of the artists open up their studios to the public for tours and demonstrations and interactive fun.

    Excellent video of our great area. It is fairly easy getting from Newcastle /Tynemouth to the South of the Tyne. A19 Tyne Tunnel (toll) by car. Ferry from North Shield to South Shields 9Ferry landing is not too far to walk to from Tynemouth) metro from Newcastle to South Shields 30 mins. Coleman’s Fish Restaurant and Seafood Temple are definitely worth a visit. Places to consider visiting in Newcastle, Biscuit Factory (art gallery and eating place)Fish Quay at North Shields popular area for eating and drinking especially at weekends. Beamish is a worthwhile visit. Once you get out of Newcastle heading north you are spoiled for choice .Market towns and castles galore along a beautiful coastline. Cragside is a great visit as is Wallington Hall( both National Trust).

    Hi there! New viewer, just followed you a couple days ago, while searching up info on where I’ll be moving to! The move is still a little bit of a ways out, cause I’ve never moved internationally, or different continent. 😂 But I’ll be making a trip out there in coming months to hire a realtor and get the processes started. I’ve been binging through your videos, and really love them! I enjoy learning not just about Edinburgh, but about all the surrounding areas, and the UK in general. I have family and friends there, but I’ve never been. Plus you’re similarly interest minded to me, so that helps(I’m Japanese American, so love all the Japanese food and culture bits! I’m excited to go to conventions out there, that my friends have told me about!). This was extremely informative and enlightening, because I’m a complete nerd for museums and anything of cultural and historical significance. I’m also an architecture nerd. It’s nice to see multiple Tsujiri locations(saw one of your earlier videos in Manchester), as we have a few where I’ve been living, and I love them! And a side note, I really love your umbrella! ^.^ Thanks for such a well constructed video! ❤
