North EastPassionate people, passionate places, that would sum up what North East England has to offer. Modern cities and beautiful countryside showcase innovation, with a rich heritage, picturesque scenery and a warm welcome from the people that live here.
North East England is also a place of contrast. The right-hand side is seaside and the left-hand side heathery hills and moody mountains with the famous World Heritage Site Hadrian's Wall running right through the middle. Enjoy yourself by walking along St Cuthbert’s Way or take the hike of your life up the Pennine Way. Whatever your choice of walk, North East England offers a broad range of different types of walks to suit all ages and ability.
Sparkling cities like Newcastle, Gateshead and Durham are thriving with lots of shopping and plenty of nightlife. Bustling market towns and pretty villages are scattered around the area. This region can lay claim to being The Cradle of English Christianity - St Aidan came to Holy Island in AD635 and English history was first written by Bede, at Jarrow. There’s also Durham, with 'the finest Norman Cathedral in the world'.
It has been home to pioneers across the centuries. The world’s first public railway steamed into life here and the award-winning Gateshead Millennium Bridge is one of the world’s most celebrated pieces of architecture.
Enjoy a taste of British life here and you can be guaranteed of a truly passionate experience in North East England.
