Highlights

Join us for a tour around the fascinating remains of medieval Newcastle, including free entry to Newcastle Castle.


This tour will explore the medieval history of Newcastle which lies hidden behind the modern city.


One of our authentically costumed guides will take you from St Andrews, Newcastle's oldest church, past the formidable town walls taking in Friaries, merchant houses, markets and guild headquarters, before finishing at the imposing Black Gate - the gatehouse of Newcastle's Castle.


From here you will be free to explore the amazingly preserved remains of the Black Gate and Castle Keep for yourselves - tickets are included in the price of the tour.
