Hi everyone my name is Sky. Today in this video I will show you Newcastle City.
So this area is called Quayside and its along the river Tyne.
There are loads of stylish bars, restaurants and clubs here.
We are walking towards the Millennium Bridge.
It was built in 2001 and it cost £22 million to build this bridge.
I could spend a lot of time here.
The view was really nice
Its a very touristy area, you can see the Baltic Art Gallery, SAGE and Tyne Bridge from here.
Towards the end of the video I will show you what it looks like in the night.
This is the Tyne Bridge.
Over 70,000 vehicles cross it everyday.
Let's go and take a walk on the bridge.

As you can see the bridge was quite busy.
The train is passing on a high level bridge
which was constructed in 1849.
In the city centre there is a Newcastle Theatre Royal
Every year they put on over 400 performances
Now we are going along Grey Street
You will be able to see the Grey's Monument.
It's occasionally open to the public to go on the viewing platform.
We had breakfast at Olive and Bean.
which can be found on Clayton street.
I would highly recommend to go to this place
The food was really good quality
Although we did not try the desserts there was a lot to offer.
so I ordered a deluxe hot chocolate
and the business breakfast
now I'm going to show you china town
Its located in the west of the city and its one of the five chinatowns in England
you will find loads of restaurants on Stowell Street.
Its a medieval defensive wall
made in 13th and 14th century.
during the British Civil War, the Scots were able to breach the wall.
the rest of it remains in the west of the city.
it was approximately 3 kilometres long
had 17 towers and 6 main gates.
Joseph Cowen was passionate about reform and active political involvement
Now we are near the Newcastle central station at Neuville road junction
Its a bronze and grit stone memorial
To the great engineer George Stephenson
We are now visiting the Newcastle Castle
Dates from Roman times and it was built in 1177
by Henry II
The Black Gate was added to the Castle between 1247 and 1250
So this pit was a prison for up to 40 people
This is called the Newcastle Keep
Accommodation consist of one large room on each floor
for reason of defence it was entered on the second floor
by an external stair
Sandgate takes its name
from the medieval Sandgate
on the Newcastle town walls
which were taken down in 1798
Now this building is called BALTIC centre for contemporary art.
It consists of 6 floors.
Each one showcasing a different exhibition
On the fifth floor there is a outdoor viewing terrace
We stayed in Holiday Inn Hotel which was 10 minutes drive from city centre
They had a beautiful christmas tree at the entrance
I show you the room where we stayed
It was on the third floor
the room was very nice and clean
the bed was very comfortable
I revisited Quayside in the night
the lighting effect was beautiful on the bridges
I highly recommend visiting at this time of the day
