Walk medieval Newcastle with a lively local guide, visit the Black Gate and Castle Keep, and uncover the city’s links to Scotland, trade, and war.
“Olivia, an archaeologist who actually works at the Newcastle Keep, led our tour of the central historical sites. If you have a love of history, this tour is for you, covering the religious and secular historical sites and events of Newcastle. Olivia has stories and details from across the Newcastle centuries, from the Romans, and Rufus, to the early days of football, to the execution of witches, and the transformations of places and buildings over time. We finished at the Keep, and it was wonderful to explore the tall confines of the rooms and stairs of that fortress right out of D&D.”
