The Region
A major attraction of Newcastle is its closeness to some of the most beautiful, unspoilt countryside and coastline in the UK.
The nearby North Pennines and the Northumberland Coast are designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Good transport links around the region means you can easily explore the countryside and coastline.
