Newcastle: all in 1

This English city is the destination for a weekend away! Newcastle is a cozy, typical English city with lots of great restaurants and a great city for shopping.

In Newcastle everything is within walking distance. Stroll the streets together and view historic buildings, such as the medieval castle keep. A great place to shop is High Bridge Street with small boutiques and nice vintage stores.
