Newcastle

Newcastle is surrounded by history: Visit Hadrian's Wall, one of the finest structures surviving from the ancient world or Durham Cathedral, built by the Normans.

In contrast, Newcastle is modern and vibrant, with pubs and bars as far as the eye can see and a nightlife that rates in the world's top 10. For a quieter pace of life, head towards Kielder Water, Europe's largest man-made lake.

Or for art and culture, visit the Laing Art Gallery, New Bridge Street (0191 232 7734) which houses the North East's finest art gallery of predominantly British paintings from the 18th century to the present. Or the South Shields Museum and Art Gallery, Ocean Road, South Shields, a 17th century building which includes a display dedicated to famous novelist Catherine Cookson, as well as local history memorabilia.
