Newcastle Castle (2019 details)
Steeped in history, this Norman fortress is a rugged reminder of northern England’s turbulent past and where the city of Newcastle got its name. With ancient passageways and chambers, the Castle reveals hidden stories of its previous inhabitants from over the centuries, and boasts the most commanding views of the city from its rooftop. Newcastle Castle is a heritage site in the centre of Newcastle Upon Tyne run by a registered charity called The Heart of the City Partnership. We look after the two main surviving buildings of the medieval Castle, the Black Gate and Castle Keep.
