Newcastle, in my mind associated with industrial activity and coal mining (probably due to the old saying "like bringing coals to Newcastle"), was a total surprise to me. Instead of smokestacks and grey industrial boxes I found a lovely waterside with soaring bridges, museums, shops and restaurants, and the fascinating mirrored Sage Music Centre, all spread along the Tyne River. Best of all, Newcastle hasn't been discovered by tourists yet. My friend Val, who has spent her entire life in Newcastle, showed me the local castles, pubs, monuments and so much more. I'd love to return to see more.
