Overview

Explore the site of the Castle that gave the city its name and discover its medieval gatehouse, the Black Gate. Uncover the changing face of the Castle through the ages: from royal fortress and border stronghold to grim dungeon and teeming slum. New exhibits allow visitors to experience what life would have been like for inhabitants in these two astonishingly preserved medieval buildings.

Itinerary

  • Newcastle Castle

    Newcastle’s most historic buildings, the Castle Keep and its 13th century gatehouse the Black Gate, were once part of a much larger fortress. Given its tumultuous history, it is miraculous that so much of Newcastle’s castle has survived intact. Today you can explore the ancient passageways and chambers where Kings walked and villains were imprisoned. Find the marks left by the inhabitants through the ages and learn the fascinating story of the Castle Garth community which grew up around the ruins. The two buildings that remain were cut off from each other by the Victorian railways of the 19th century - an unfortunate side effect of the North East's trailblazing role in the Industrial Revolution. Exhibits guide visitors through the Castle's history over the years: from settlement in Roman times, to medieval stronghold, use as a modern day museum and everything in between. Simply purchase your ticket from the Castle's all-new Black Gate reception to begin your journey.

Additional Info

  • The Castle consists of two buildings: the Castle Keep and Black Gate. While the Black Gate is fully accessible, the Castle Keep has many steep stairs and uneven surfaces.
  • Dogs, with the exception of guide dogs, are not permitted entry. Buggies can be parked in the reception of the Castle Keep.
  • The Castle Keep is a Scheduled Ancient Monument with several upper storeys which are not accessible to disabled visitors. However, there is an audio-video walk-through of the Castle Keep in the Gaol, the only fully accessible room in the Castle Keep. The Black Gate, however, has been fitted with ramps and an external lift. This allows access to the upper-levels of the building, including the shop. The building also has an adapted accessible toilet on its first floor.
  • Steep uneven stairs that you should be aware of.

Great experience for kids

Published on Jan, 2025

We have been there the weekend before Christmas and our son (8 years) really enjoyed the nice explanation about the weaponry in the Castle. The guy that did the tour had great knowledge and made it a wonderfull experience from our end. Many thanks!

Fun for any age

Published on Dec, 2024

All of the guided tours were sold out but we still had a great time exploring Black Gate and the castle keep on our own. We greatly enjoyed the exhibit run by the Society of Antiquaries, a local historical society. The displays were excellent and did a great job showing the area throughout the ages (not just the medieval castle times). Staff was friendly and helpful.

The best place ever

Published on Dec, 2024

I went with my family and and we got to explore the castle and it was really fun. They had the great hall they had prison. They had a bunch of stuff . The best part though was going to the top of the castle to see the view you could get a amazing view of the Tyne bridge and the quayside and the top was so cool . Definitely something to do in England.

Insightful

Published on Nov, 2024

Lovely castle! Once you know the history, you will know what the castle really means. Sadly, you have to know that outside is another small castle/pillar, so I think the organiser should mention that clearly, or when you leave the first part of the castle.

Much better on the inside

Published on Aug, 2024

From the outside it looks like a small castle keep. None the less I wandered in and was stunned at the £12.50 entry fee. But I paid it, and boy am I glad I did! The castle is more like a Tardis - bigger on the inside. And staffed by guides who talk at length about a subject if prompted. There is reproduction armour to try on and weapons to examine. Stocks, a pillory, demonstration for children and great views over the city. The ticket is valid for a year, so I can always go back again.
