Newcastle is a city rich in history and heritage dating back centuries. Many of the visitor attractions in Newcastle and Gateshead tell the story of the North East's varied heritage and all add to the region's diverse cultural offer. There are lots of things to do in Newcastle and Gateshead and one such popular, family-friendly attraction in the heart of Newcastle is Newcastle Castle.
Steeped in history, Newcastle Castle - which is open daily throughout the year - is a grim but fascinating reminder of Newcastle’s dark and gruelling past, but how much do you actually know about the historic landmark which gave the city its name?
This blog has been written in collaboration with Newcastle Castle as part of a promotion.
