Elect's take
"Newcastle has a warmth and a directness that I find genuinely appealing. The combination of outstanding architecture, excellent food, remarkable cultural institutions and access to some of England's most beautiful and least visited countryside creates a city with real character."
The Quayside is one of England's most dramatic urban waterfronts, with the Tyne Bridge, the Millennium Bridge and a beautifully regenerated riverside lined with restaurants, bars and galleries. The BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art occupies a former flour mill and provides outstanding exhibition space for international contemporary art. The Great North Museum houses a remarkable collection including the full skeleton cast of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a fascinating overview of Hadrian's Wall. Grey Street is widely considered one of the finest Victorian streets in England. Hadrian's Wall and the extraordinary Northumberland countryside are within 30 minutes of the city.
