Newcastle Upon Tyne Private Historic Pub Tour With Free Drinks!

Our first pub is here, it would be a shame not to see and learn a little about this grand old famous railway station.

Our first pub is one of the finest in the land and with a fascinating history. It may be the most lavish pub too with an interior said to cost tens of millions of pounds.

As we go around the city we will learn a little about some of the places we see and none are finer than this veritable Tyneside institution.

See one of the best sections of the city walls that are still standing despite the best efforts of Scottish invaders!

See the famous castle that gave this city its name all the way back in the 11th century. We might see a few ruins from the Roman (old) castle that date back a thousand or so years earlier nearby,

One of 3 cathedrals in Newcastle (many would say 4 if we include St James Park, home of the legendary Newcastle United) and there only cathedral in Britain named after St Nicholas the inspiration for Santa in the USA though over here we have Father Christmas instead.

We will walk through the old cloth market. A street away is the old Groat or wheat market and the famous Bigg Market, originally for Barley. Barley is still much consumed here in its alcoholic form!

The oldest pub in Newcastle and with infamous Royal patronage.

Slightly off the beaten track from the main city centre, this pub once had a landlord who was the heaviest man in the world!

Often voted the most beautiful street in Britain.

A fantastic pub near the stage doors to the theatre with a range of over 30 beers and ales.

Newcastle’s Theatre Royal is one of only 9 Grade I listed theatre halls in England, the city’s theatre is often regarded as the finest theatre building in the country.

If your schedule is permitting we will pass through this place of wander and wonder since 1835. Step inside from the streets of Newcastle and experience generations of preserved history within our magnificent Grade I listed building. Meander through history. Wander past the unique and wonder at the unexpected. Shop the handmade, taste the exotic, smell the fresh and experience the exciting. Our historic alleyways are the result of unique characters, exciting cuisines and vibrant cultures fusing together to create an exceptional melting pot of human energy. This is the Grainger Market, the beating heart of Newcastle Upon Tyne.

A hidden jewel in Newcastle, this gorgeous old shopping arcade is like nothing else.

One of the symbols of Newcastle, right in the heart of the City.

Sometimes said to be the second shopping street in Britain after Londons Oxford Street, once the main A1 road between London and Edinburgh

This old pub started life as a stables but don't let that put you off. Modest looking on the outside, inside is another matter and it's a grand place to end our pub tour.
