Overview

Join us for a tour around the fascinating remains of medieval Newcastle, including free entry to Newcastle Castle. This tour will explore the medieval history of Newcastle which lies hidden behind the modern city. One of our authentically costumed guides will take you from St Andrews, Newcastle's oldest church, past the formidable town walls taking in Friaries, merchant houses, markets and guild headquarters, before finishing at the imposing Black Gate - the gatehouse of Newcastle's Castle. From here you will be free to explore the amazingly preserved remains of the Black Gate and Castle Keep for yourselves - tickets are included in the price of the tour.

Itinerary

  • St. Andrew's Church

    Our guide will meet you here and tell you all about Newcastle's oldest Church as well as about the time Newcastle was ruled from Scotland!

    10 minutes

  • The Newcastle Town Wall

    Newcastle once boasted the "largest and fairest" walls of any town in England. Hear tales of sieges, jousts and battles from our guide, including the deeds of the legendary "Hotspur".

    10 minutes

  • Blackfriars Medieval Friary

    Newcastle's Black Friars began life as the home of the town's Dominician Friars - supposedly "holy men" they soon amassed wealth and political power.

    5 minutes

  • Newcastle Cathedral

    Once the largest of Newcastle's four parish churches, today the city's Cathedral, St Nicholas' Church is a monument to the wealth and grandeur of Newcastle's merchants.

    10 minutes

    The Guild of Masters and Mariners of Newcastle was founded in the Middle Ages and once controlled all shipping from Whitby to Berwick.

    5 minutes

  • Newcastle Castle

    Newcastle Castle includes the two finest surviving medieval buildings in the city, the Black Gate and the iconic Castle Keep. Together they formed part of the royal castle that gave its name to the town. Our guide will introduce you to the Castle outside and you are then free to explore both buildings at your leisure after the end of your tour.

Our guide was very informative and made an already interesting (to us anyway!) topic very enjoyable. I’ll never forget the importance of a gong farmer!

Superb history tour

What a brilliant tour, Cory was hugely informative and a great story teller. I was entertained and learnt so much about Medieval Newcastle… and a lot more besides! Excellent value for money with entrance to the castle included - knockout views from the roof!
