Just part of the historic castle of Newcastle seen as we make our way up here from the river.

"Newcastle Castle is a grim reminder of royal authority where armies gathered, and criminals were imprisoned and executed. It is where the story of Newcastle began, from the early use of the site as a Roman fort forming part of Hadrian’s Wall, to the construction of the castle after the Norman conquest and the Harrying of the North.

Newcastle Castle has adapted and evolved throughout the centuries, with a railway line running right through the site, and stories of infamous sheriffs, entrepreneurial tavern-owners in the gatehouse, and even a princess locked in the tower!" www.newcastlecastle.co.uk
