Spectacular views at the Rooftop tours of St James' Park

Anyone who has visited St James' Park has no doubt looked up at the roof of the stadium towering 150 feet above their heads. It surely must be a spectacle to see the city from that height, but it's only once you're actually stood on the edge of the stadium roof that you can truly appreciate the views on offer.

A key component of the rooftop tours is using the extraordinary vantage point over Newcastle to talk about the history of the city. Though the tours take place above the football grounds, sport is not a focus of the tours and only plays a small part of the over an hour-long experience.

It will appeal to a very broad audience with a range of interests, so don't be put off if football isn't your thing. The tour should pique the interest of those who are curious to learn more about Newcastle, those who simply want to see the city from a magpie's perspective, and history buffs who want to learn more about the area in times since gone.
