Newcastle upon Tyne Reviews

Newcastle is a city full of surprises. Despite its popular depiction of a rough area, supported by ship building, Newcastle has advanced a long way and is now home to a wealth of interest and culture. The city has a lot of character and if you visit for a while then the best way to understand Newcastle is perhaps to go to a football game at St ...  Read the complete review

I currently live in Newcastle and can assure anyone wishing to visit that it's a great place with plenty to see and do - all within walking distance! Having moved up here from Liverpool many years ago to study I found myself forever comparing these two great cities - and there are a lot of comparisons. Yes the Tyne isn't quite the ...  Read the complete review

Newcastle is home to the Geordie and Newcastle United. If you want to visit a place that mixes old with new, history with the future, then Newcastle is the place to be. If you get the train into Newcastle you get the well known view of most of the bridges being aligned behind each other with the Baltic (a new art museaum), the sage (a new building ...  Read the complete review

Newcastle upon Tyne, often shortened to Newcastle, is a city in the county of Tyne and Wear in north-east England. Technically, people from Newcastle are Novocastrians, although the term Geordie is now more commonly used. I'm not actually from Newcastle but it's the nearest city to where I live (about 15 miles away) and I go quite often. ...  Read the complete review

*****Newcastle – Always a City of Culture***** I can hardly believe it, but it’s true. I’ve managed to write 99 reviews since I joined Dooyoo! I really wanted my 100th review to be something a little special, so what better to write about than my beloved home town on Newcastle. That’s Upon Tyne, rather than Under Lyme. Just to be clear! ...  Read the complete review

To me, Newcastle/Gateshead is probably the best city in the world, even though I have not been to all of them, I can not imagine a better place to live, especially if you are from there or from the north of England. I am from West Cumbria, 80 miles west of Newcastle, but after visiting, I felt my self as being half Geordie! ...  Read the complete review

It amazes me how people from the South never seem to tire of hearing a Geordie accent. I couldn't count the number of times over the years that friends and acquaintances have begged me to say 'Why aye man' or 'haway the lads', etc, . I've also heard countless bad impressions of a perceived Geordie accent, ranging from ...  Read the complete review

Whippets, Football shirts, boozing and wife beating. The perfect summing up of the stereotypical Geordie, as viewed through the eyes of 90 % of the worlds population. Yet a little digger deeping will find that there is a lot more to "Geordieland" than meets the eye. Situated in the far North East reaches of England, Newcastle ...  Read the complete review

The hours I have spent researching and writing this op is beyond belief, it has been by far the hardest opinion I have had to write but also the most rewarding and interesting. I have lived in Newcastle all my life, so who better to tell you of it?s attractions than me. There was a time in my life when I was going to move to ...  Read the complete review

To many people in Britain, Newcastle is a grimy industrial city populated by T-shirt wearing, lager drinking, cultural philistines. When I was growing up I remember reading a book called 'A Tale of Five Cities'(1980) by John Ardagh in which he described my beloved Newcastle as: "objectionable,even frightening...and(possessing) an ...  Read the complete review

This opinion is based on a topic thats is really eating into me. This Weekend should have been Love Parade 2001 based on the Town Moor in the City of Newcastle. This was an event that was talked about with great enthusiasm and promised to bring a huge amount of visitors from all over Britain. Basically "The Love Parade" was a ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in Newcastle for almost 16 years now, having moved from a small village near Cornwall. I have to say I love this town. It has everything you could possibly want, a fabulous art gallery; a wide selection of pubs, clubs and restaurants; an excellent library system; and a fabulous selection of world class shops. And of course, ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in Newcastle for a year now, having previously resided in a handful of cities across the world. My opinion of Newcastle is thus that of a 23 year-old newcomer and not a native. Newcastle has great PR. Before I came here everyone was telling me that they've heard what a great city it is, how friendly the people are, how fantastic ...  Read the complete review

Well how can I resit writing an opion on good old geordie land! I've always known Newcastle from being a wee baine and living in Durham. But since coming to University in Newcastle I'm starting to relise what I've bin missing out on all these years. The Geordies are a great set of people and as long as ya dinit try t ...  Read the complete review

Having lived just outside Newcastle all of my life, I tend to take it for granted, and complain that there is nothing to do, and other cities are far more interesting. Then some friends came to stay and I had to really look into what we could do to make their weekend enjoyable. It really opened my eyes, and we would have needed at least 2 weeks, ...  Read the complete review

It's interesting to read all of the opinions Southeners have of Geordies. To some, they are wonderfully helpful and friendly people (which of course is true) and to others they are fist-flying baseball-bat-wielding head-butting maniacs (which isn't). Being a totally and utterly completely biased Geordie, I felt I should give an ...  Read the complete review
