Newcastle Travel Guide
United Kingdom
Newcastle is a city of 192,382 people in north-east England, on the River Tyne. It is served by Newcastle International Airport, making air travel the main named option for arriving from further afield.
The nearby coast gives you an easy beach option beyond the city. Littlehaven Beach, in South Shields, is 12.8 kilometres away, so it can be paired with a city stay if you want time by the sea.
