Explore Newcastle upon Tyne — before your adventure begins

Picking up your campervan in Newcastle upon Tyne? Take a moment to explore the city first. Before you hit the road, a last wander is well worth it — Newcastle upon Tyne has plenty to offer to build the excitement for the journey ahead.

The Newcastle upon Tyne vibe

Newcastle has a loyal, self-assured character that comes through in everything from the curve of Grey Street, often called the finest street in England, to the packed terraces at St James' Park visible from almost every vantage point in the city. The Ouseburn Valley, a former industrial neighbourhood along the burn, has become a creative quarter with studios, galleries like the Biscuit Factory and Mushroom Works, and live music venues in converted warehouses. The BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art on the Gateshead quayside, housed in a former flour mill, anchors the Tyneside arts scene alongside the Sage concert hall next door. The bridges linking Newcastle and Gateshead, from the Tyne Bridge to the tilting Millennium Bridge, create one of the striking urban waterfronts in the country. It is a city that leaves an impression before you head north in your campervan.

Local food and markets

Grainger Market, beneath the Grainger Town rooftops, has traded since 1835 and houses over 100 stalls selling everything from fresh fish to stottie cakes. The Quayside Market runs along the river every Sunday with local food producers, crafts, and street food. Ouseburn has developed its own food identity, with artisan bakeries and the Ouseburn Farm shop sitting alongside microbreweries. For loading up the campervan, Fenwick Food Hall on Northumberland Street offers quality provisions, and the fishmongers at North Shields Fish Quay, a short drive east, sell the morning's catch directly from the boats. The region's baking tradition remains strong, with proper pease pudding and ham still a staple.

Parks and green spaces

Jesmond Dene is Newcastle's hidden treasure, a narrow wooded valley carved by the Ouseburn that runs for over a mile through the Jesmond neighbourhood with waterfalls, stone bridges, and a pets corner. Town Moor, stretching north from the city centre, covers over 1,000 acres of open grassland where cattle still graze under ancient commoners' rights. Leazes Park, beside St James' Park, was one of the first purpose-built parks in the country and offers a quiet lakeside walk minutes from the city centre. The Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail begins nearby at Wallsend, and even walking the first few miles along the Tyne offers a sense of the landscape that stretches ahead on a campervan trip into Northumberland.
