The warm and friendly North East has been slowly reinventing itself to become one of today’s hottest places to visit.
Newcastle is now a number one city break destination, thanks to its Georgian buildings, rejuvenated quaysides, galleries, theatres, coffee shops, tilting Gateshead Millennium Bridge and the Tyne Bridge, a mini version of Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The Angel of the North sculpture at Gateshead still inspires awe-its wings are the size of a jumbo jet’s. And the maritime port of Hartlepool showcases a superbly recreated 18th-century seaport and Britain’s oldest warship still afloat. The Tall Ships Races finish there in August at the town’s biggest-ever party.
