Newcastle upon Tyne is a city in Tyne and Wear, England that was formerly part of the old English county of Northumberland. Newcastle upon Tyne derives its name from its status of being on the banks of the River Tyne, as well as the castle built by Robert II of Normandy, who was the eldest son of William the Conqueror. Before becoming Newcastle, the city was a Roman settlement starting from the 2nd century, under the name Pons Aelius.
Newcastle is also known for its traditionally famous football club Newcastle United, which currently houses stars such as England Striker Michael Owen. Whenever one thinks of Newcastle, one thinks of the Tyne Bridge which links Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. It was originally designed by Mott, Hay, and Anderson who also designed the Forth Road Bridge. The bridge was then built by Dorman Long and Co. The Tyne Bridge was also featured in the movie ‘Goal,’ which is about Santiago Munez, an aspiring football player who tried out for the Newcastle United Football Club. Another place of interest is definitely St. James Park, the home stadium of Newcastle United. The large stadium can fit up to 52,387 fans, making it the third largest stadium in the Premier league. Take advantage of the many things to do in Newcastle. Shopping is a big draw here; take a walk through the many works of art displayed for sale at University Gallery, and see many interesting photos from local and regional artists at the Side gallery. Or visit the many parks located throughout Newcastle, such as Gibside, Exhibition Park, and Leazes Park. All the parks are beautifully maintained and easy to get to, and popular for tourists and locals alike. Newcastle offers a wide variety of museums for kids and adults, which in turn offers entertainment and learning value all at once.There also exist several exquisite restaurants and food stalls in Newcastle upon Tyne. One specific place of interest is the Black Bull Public House, which is one of the most famous pubs in all Newcastle upon Tyne. It is famous on football match days and apparently offers some of the best beer in the whole city. Testimonies from match-goers state that Black Bull provides a good match experience that doesn’t require one to visit St. James Park. A good restaurant in Newcastle is Comfort Food Co Ltd. The food is well cooked and well presented according to testimonies. The restaurant also offers wine. The restaurant is usually half full by 9 pm, so tourists should try to get there early to avoid the rush. From sports and music, to cinemas and clubbing, Newcastle has everything in store for the city tourist. Newcastle has more things ‘on the roll’ than London, Glasgow, and Leeds, earning the reputation as the Mecca of Party in all the UK. For smooth and live music, you can head to the Metro Arena or the Newcastle Hall. For underground music action, you will find The Cluny very accommodating to lovers of music. The dry humour that Britain identifies with is found in comedy bars like the Hyena Comedy Cafe, Funny Bones, and the Cornerhouse Hotel. Newcastle is surely a nice place to visit, as it is a football Mecca as well as a nice place to observe traditional English culture. There are places that offer beer, football, wine, and tea – all the things that make up a solid, traditional English town. The Tyne Bridge is also an attractive place even for non-football fans.
