North East
England is a place of
cosmopolitan contrast and is
full of vitality with a constant
'buzz'.
The East side is the coast and
seaside and the Western side
hills and dales with moody
mountains and
the famous World Heritage Site
Hadrian's Wall running right
through the middle. The result?
There’s lots to do, lots of
places to visit, and full of
activity both indoors
and out.
Cosmopolitan cities
like Newcastle, Gateshead 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 the
island was also home to
St.Cuthbert. English
history was first written by
Bede, at Jarrow. There’s also
Durham, a wonderful and
photogenic university city with "the finest Norman
Cathedral in the world".
The North East
of England has been
home to pioneers across the
centuries. The world’s first
public railway steamed into life here
and The World's oldest railway
still runs at
Tanfield. The
award-winning Gateshead
Millennium Bridge is one of the
world’s most celebrated pieces
of architecture and the
Gateshead Sage building and 'Angel
of the North' are
already icons yet have only
appeared in recent times.
Characters!
The North East is filled with
them! Naturally friendly, people
will make time to tell you about
the place that fills them with
pride.
Enjoy a taste
of British life here and you can
be guaranteed of a truly
passionate experience in North
East England.
