What to do and see in Newcastle upon Tyne, England: The Best Outdoor Activities

April 30, 2022 Esmeralda Fenner

Once a shipbuilding city, Newcastle's flashier claim to fame is nightlife. Throw in a heap of premium restaurants serving foods from all over the world and it's no wonder young partiers choose to blow their hard-earned (or not-so-hard-earned) cash in Newcastle. While these amenities are certainly a draw for the hipsters and culture-seekers, it's the locals that make Newcastle a truly special place to visit. "Geordies," as they are often called, embody the pride, industriousness and resilient spirit of their city.

My wife very kindly hired a wonderful 1970 E-Type for my birthday, when visiting the North East. We were staying at a hotel in Northumberland and the car was delivered to the venue. It was a complete surprise - I remember seeing the car approaching down the gravel driveway and thinking how lucky the driver was to own it......not knowing that it was mine for the day. We were given a tour of the vehicle, provided with a comprehensive overview and explaination and questions answered before being given the keys. The rest of the day was pure joy; driving around Northumberland and along the coast road with the sun shining and the engine purring. The car was stunning and maintained in fantastic condition . A truly memorable birthday.

Excellent, more than just a gym, the friendly helpful atmosphere makes for a community feel. Fun classes with a difference. During the 2020 lockdown and subsequent difficult times during the pandemic FIT club made the extra effort of putting on remote classes for those self isolating. My son also goes to the kids class and loves it! Highly recommended.

I really enjoy going to this gym, it has good range of weights and cardio equipment. I also like that there is a separate ladies gym, cardio room and studio for classes. It is family run business and everyone is really friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Well worth checking out!

Alexander Adventures

Delivering fun and sociable adventures in the North east of England and world wide. We don’t subscribe to the normal concept of escorted travel. Our trip is not for those who want to be herded around in large groups, seeing sights merely from the inside of buses. We treat each of our guests as an individual, appreciating that each has individual interests. ​
