Newcastle (England) Cruise Reviews

Loved walking around the city. Pretty ...

We checked out Wallsend to see Hadrian's wall and South Shields where there is also the remains of a Roman fort. We had time to take the subway to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, as well. It was fine, but really nothing very exciting. ...
