Newcastle, Durham and Whitley Bay

Full Day - Delightful Durham
Step back in time with a visit to the historic city of Durham, one of England’s most beautiful and atmospheric destinations. Dominated by its magnificent cathedral and castle, dramatically set above the River Wear, Durham offers a wonderful blend of history, architecture and charm.
Enjoy time to explore at your leisure—wander the cobbled streets, browse the independent shops, relax in one of the many cafés, or take a gentle stroll along the riverside paths. With its compact layout and welcoming atmosphere, Durham is a delight to discover and a highlight of any North East visit.

Full Day - Whitley Bay and Tynemouth
Enjoy a delightful day on the North Tyneside coast with visits to Whitley Bay and Tynemouth, two of the area’s most popular seaside destinations. In Whitley Bay, take a stroll along the promenade, enjoy sea views across the North Sea, or relax with an ice cream while spotting the iconic St Mary’s Lighthouse just offshore. We then continue to Tynemouth, a vibrant coastal village full of character. Browse independent shops, enjoy cafés overlooking the sea, or explore the dramatic ruins of Tynemouth Priory & Castle, set high above the coastline.
