Sightseeing
Not as the first place to see on your first visit or if you are only staying for a day in Newcastle but still worth a visit if you find the time, only 10 mins walk from the flat. This Victorian park was voted "Britain s best park" in 2005. There s a lake in the middle and next to the Rose garden you ll see a lovely old building with a cafe on the side. Great place for a picnic. I usually play basketball there. By the way, you might see alot of Orthodox jewish people on your way to the park. Its an amazing scene.

20-25 mins walk from the flat, my favourite non-touristy yet popular cafe on the bank of the river. Nice place for a coffee and a stroll down Gateshead quays and the woods . This is also a historical area where the ships used to get loaded with coal...

A couple of hours drive or by bus from Haymarket, Alnwick castle and gardens are great to visit if you have more than a day or two in Newcastle. This is the place where parts of Harry potter movie was made. If you have a car and looking to drive up the coast of Northumberland then dont miss out on a visit to gorgous towns of Amble, Warkworth and Alnmouth on the way. If you have more time ofcourse Holy island and Seahouses are great to visit too.
