North of Newcastle's High Level Bridge on St. Nicholas Street, the well-preserved Norman fortified tower bears testimony to the "New Castle" begun in 1080 and completed in 1172. The late Norman Chapel and the King's Chamber can be visited as you explore the castle's many old passages and medieval chambers. Along the way, you'll find fascinating displays of archaeological artifacts, while the tower offers excellent views over the city. Although separated from Castle Keep by a train line, the gatehouse (the Black Gate) was built in 1247 and is also worth exploring. Guided tours, including a chance to visit both structures, are available. If possible, try to plan your visit to coincide with one of the castle's many fun themed seasonal events. Address: Castle Garth, Newcastle upon Tyne

Go across it by the wooden bridge (called the Black Gate). You can stop by the Castle's museum (£6.50 and open from 10am to 5pm).

Newcastle Castle is another must-visit attraction, which not only explores the rich history of the city but also offers incredible views from its rooftop.

It may be cliché, but it's so so worth it. Stunning views of the whole city from the top of Newcastle's Castle. It's a proper castle inside and is really well maintained. A real piece of history.
