discovering - newcastle upon tyne
May 22, 2017
Grey Street
so this week i got the chance to explore Newcastle Upon Tyne for the first time.
it is perhaps my favourite city yet, alongside London and Edinburgh.
The Angel of the North - Gateshead in Tyne and Wear, England
only having spent a few days there, i managed to see a couple of markets such as 'grainger market' and 'tynemouth market'.
visited intu Eldon Sqaure, grainger town, the wondrous city of durham, st. mary's lighthouse in whitley bay and tynemouth. went to the quirky, old fashioned tyneside cinema.
Discovered a few museums as well, such as the 'great north museum: handcock', 'centre for life' where i sat so happily under the stars and planets in the planetarium. then finally perhaps my favourite museum yet to date, 'beamish museum'. beamish is a world famous open air museum, telling the story of life in north east england during the 1820's, 1900's & 1940's.

durham cathedral - first two films of harry potter were filmed here
Scotswood Bridge - just a pretty old picture that i came across
definitely worth the visit to newcastle & gateshead. a place of many hidden gems and many discoveries to be found. come august i'll be back again finding new places to awe upon. if anyone has any must-see spots please don't hesitate to drop them below in the comment bar.
much love,
