Newcastle-upon-Tyne -
As its name suggests, Newcastle is sited on the Tyne river, and a huge iron bridge spans the water. The town began its meteoric rise as a Roman military settlement, and was later built upon again by the Norman invaders from the south (hence its name, 'New Castle'). Packed with its history of Romans, Normans, and the industrial revolution, the town offers a great family break, including sights such as Earl Grey's monument, the Castle Keep, Blackfriars, St. Nicholas' Cathedral, or a simple stroll in the delightfully pretty Jesmond Dean park.
