"Dare you climb the tower?" Newcastle Cathedral playfully taunts after they announced their 2022 Lantern Tower tours.
Groups of visitors have the opportunity to climb the winding spiral stairs to a wonderful vantage of Newcastle's skyline atop the iconic Cathedral Lantern Tower.
Reaching a height of 60 metres, the Lantern Tower was Newcastle's tallest structure for hundreds of years and still offers spectacular views towering over much of the city today, with only a few modern buildings matching or surpassing the height. An unforgettable experience awaits those who reach the top, as you walk across stone blocks and roofing panels around the tower's peak.
