This great and historic city lies on the north bank of the river Tyne.
Ever since the Roman fort of Pons Aelius was built here, Newcastle has had a strong defensive role to play in protecting the northern border of England.
Some parts of the walls, and some of the towers that were constructed along them, remain today.
Newcastle has recently become synonymous with shopping. With several huge shopping centres, including Europe's largest, the city has become a Mecca for shopoholics all over the country.
