Look up and find the Tyne Bridge cutting a perfect steel arc across the sky. Beneath its colossal form hide centuries of ambition, rebellion, and the secrets of Newcastle’s beating heart.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks stories most travelers rush past. Wind through riverbanks and alleyways, beneath soaring bridges and past ancient brickwork where real drama unfolded.

What scandal nearly toppled Newcastle’s most powerful leaders right on these waters? Which forgotten figure helped change engineering forever yet disappeared from official history? And what odd event led an entire city to guard its medieval hospital gates from bags of trash?

Each stop sends you deeper into mystery, walking in the footsteps of monarchs, inventors, exiles, and underdogs. Hear whispers in Gothic halls, pause over epic arches, and see Newcastle shimmer with new eyes.
