We took our cameras up to Newcastle Upon Tyne in Tyneside in the North East of England for a 4K walking tour through the stunning City Centre there and what a great place this is!

The last time we were in Newcastle Upon Tyne we filmed around Quayside and up to the castle but this time we thought we'd start our walk at St James' Park the home of Newcastle United, before heading down into Eldon Square, and along to Grey's Monument and then down Grey Street to the Quayside area and the iconic Tyne Bridge.

This Newcastle Upon Tyne walk starts at St James' Park which is the countries eighth biggest football stadium and home to Newcastle United Football Club. We take a look around the outside of the stadium and the various plaques and statues dedicated to former players and managers of the club.

From St James' Park we head into Newcastle City Centre by walking along Strawberry Place and down Leazes Park Road to Percy Street. From here we can see the entrance to Eldon Square so we have a wander down Blackett Street and into Eldon Square itself where we can see Eldon Square Shopping Centre and the central war memorial.

Passing through there we continue along Blackett Street and onto Greys Monument which stands at the junction of Grainger Street and Grey Street

In this walking tour I wanted to show Grey Street in all it's glory because I think this street is absolutely stunning. It has recently been awarded the title of the most instagrammed street in the country and it's easy to see why. This historic street is simply amazing!

There's so much Newcastle Upon Tyne History here. Grey Street is an immaculate Georgian street in the Grainger Town area. The area also includes a mediaeval 13th-century Dominican friary, pieces of the historic Town Walls and many fine Georgian and Victorian buildings.

Grey Street contains the stunning Theatre Royal, the southern entrance to Monument Metro station and the Central Arcade. It is renowned for its Georgian architecture, and was in 2010 voted 'Best street in the UK' by BBC Radio 4 listeners and it's easy to see why.

We stop off at Theatre Royal on Grey Street for a look at the front facade which just looks great!

Further down Grey Street we continue our walking tour and head down over Mosley Street onto Dean Street and then down onto side and round to Sandhill.

From here on our Newcastle Upon Tyne tour we can start to see the iconic Tyne Bridge over the River Tyne.

Before we get to Quayside we see Newcastle Guildhall (which now has a Hard Rock Cafe built into it!) and then we come to Quayside and Hadrian's Wall Path.

As we look east down Quayside we can see past the Tyne Bridge to see the Gateshead Millennium Bridge and across the river we see the shiny silver Sage Gateshead, an events building that hosts concerts and arts and performances.


This walking tour of Newcastle Upon Tyne was filmed before learning any knowledge of this Tyneside city so if there is anything I missed that I should have included please drop it into the comments section so I can add it to my route next time I visit Newcastle City Centre!
