With the start of a new academic year soon beginning at universities, thousands of students will be getting ready to leave home for the first time as they start their studies.
With not one but two universities in Newcastle, the city will look a lot busier from this month as more than 50,000 students head to Newcastle and Northumbria . With many travelling from other parts of the country to pursue their fields of study, for many of them it may be the first time that they have properly visited the region.
If you’re one of those students, you’re in for a real treat - there’s so much to discover in Newcastle and the wider North East, which has everything from bustling city life to tranquil countryside and stunning beaches. Here are a few trips to take to start off your stay in Newcastle the right way.
