After arriving and checking into your hotel, you’ll probably want to explore your surroundings. Beach lovers can head straight to Longsands Beach or Seaton Sluice Beach for some quality time by the water. Treat your taste buds to the area’s restaurants, and make time for local attractions such as Jesmond Dene Park and Saltwell Park. For even more to see and do, pay a visit to University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne or Newcastle Racecourse.
