Where could you go after landing?
Newcastle gives you a strong city break immediately, but the real strength of the airport is how naturally the journey can continue into Northumberland, Roman Britain and the wider North East.
Northumberland
A coastline of castles, beaches and historic settlements makes Northumberland one of the strongest reasons to continue beyond Newcastle.
Explore the North East →Hadrian's Wall
Roman forts, archaeological sites and open countryside create a natural east-to-west heritage route from the Newcastle area.
Discover the region →Durham
Cathedral, castle and historic streets make Durham an easy addition to a wider North East itinerary.
Explore nearby →Tyne & Wear
Metro connections open routes towards the coast, North Shields, South Shields and Sunderland as well as Newcastle itself.
Explore the North East →Discover Britain
Search the Britain Undiscovered regional directory and build the trip around the cities, coastlines, landscapes and heritage that interest you most.
Discover Britain →Stay with Newcastle — or head into Northumberland
The Metro makes Newcastle itself straightforward without a car. Once your itinerary begins linking castles, coastline, Hadrian's Wall and rural Northumberland, a car becomes much more useful.
Newcastle city break
The Metro connects the airport directly with central Newcastle in around 25 minutes.
Durham & rail corridor
Newcastle Central opens straightforward rail connections south through the region.
Northumberland coast
Rail works for some places, while a car offers much greater freedom between castles, villages and coast.
Hadrian's Wall road trip
A car can make a multi-stop Roman heritage journey considerably easier.
