Good times on the Tyne - Newcastle upon Tyne

Jewel of the North, City of Bridges, Party City of the North and aspirant European City of Culture, Newcastle is no longer the coal-mining city that brought it to fame.

A modern city, fighting the North/South divide for recognition, Newcastle is a fun place with extraordinarily friendly people, and a lot to see in- and around the city.

A great base for York, Durham & even Scotland, it's location and transportation links make it an excellent place to stay.

Personally I only realised how much I missed the place after I moved from there to Canada. Much less expensive than London and the South, the quality of life in Newcastle is some of the best I've experienced in the UK.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Friendly, modern and much less expensive than the rest of the UK...
  • Cons:It was a great summer... it was a whole Wednesday afternoon...
