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.

This blog was first written in 2019 in collaboration with Newcastle Castle as part of a promotion.
