Things to Do in Newcastle
Newcastle packs a lot into a small centre, and the coast is a short Metro ride away. Here is how to plan a daytime meeting.
The Quayside for the bridges
The Quayside runs along the Tyne beneath the bridges, with a wide pedestrian promenade and views across to Gateshead. It is flat and easy, and busy enough in the daytime to feel public and relaxed.

Jesmond Dene for a wooded valley
Jesmond Dene is a landscaped wooded valley with a stream, bridges and quiet paths, a short ride from the centre. It suits a longer, calmer walk with little traffic noise.

Wallsend for the end of Hadrian's Wall
At Wallsend, a short Metro ride east, the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall is marked by a Roman fort site and a museum. It adds a sense of history to a day without needing much planning.

Tynemouth for the coast
The Metro runs out to Tynemouth, with a ruined priory on the headland, a long beach and a village high street. It is the classic day by the sea from the city, and it is breezy at any time of year.

Planning a Newcastle day
The Metro links most of the places above, so a day pass is simpler than a car. Weekends are busy on the Quayside, and the coast is colder than the city, so bring a coat. The centre is walkable, so a day can start and end at the Central Station.
