'Geordieland'
in Focus
North East
England is a place of contrast.
The East side is seaside and the
West side heathery hills and
moody mountains with the famous
World Heritage Site Hadrian's
Wall running right through the
middle. The result? There’s lots
to do, both indoors and out.
Sparkling
cities like Newcastle,
Gateshead, Sunderland,
Middlesbrough and Durham are
thriving with lots of shopping
and plenty of nightlife.
Bustling market towns and pretty
villages are scattered around
the region.
North East
England can lay claim to being
The Cradle of English
Christianity - St Aidan came to
Holy Island in AD635 and English
history was first written by
Bede, at Jarrow. There’s also
Durham, with "the finest Norman
Cathedral in the world".
Lindisfarne is not to be missed,
with its Castle and Priory it is
a Mecca for pilgrims from all
over the World.
The North East
of England has been home to
pioneers across the centuries.
The world’s first public railway
steamed into lifehere and the
award-winning Gateshead
Millennium Bridge is one of the
world’s most celebrated pieces
of architecture.
