We spent today walking around Newcastle, starting with a walk along the Quayside and beside the bridges – Newcastle has many bridges (this great website details them); favorites include this view of the swing bridge and Tyne bridge, and another view with the high level bridge in the distance:
We also toured the “New Castle” from which Newcastle is named – this building is the “even newer” castle keep built in the 1100s (and the 1080 “New Castle” itself replaced older fortifications going back to at least Roman times!) From the top of the New Castle keep, great views of the river and city:
