Up the hill is the Stepney Bank Stables, the City Farm is over the road, there's the anarchist cinema The Star and Shadow nestling up to the ArtWorks Gallery and the Tanners pub.

The river itself winds through the valley, passing most of the sights - a wander along the path next to it is a relaxing way to get your bearings.

The whole area is bursting with fun and unusual activities for all ages. Highly recommended, whether you want to enjoy a nice beer on the Green or spend a whole day exploring the best of Newcastle's culture.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10390 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10341

Then potter through the town centre, check out the priory ruins, stroll on the sandy beach, watch the surfers, and then hop on the Metro at Cullercoats or Whitley Bay back to town.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10341 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10323 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10323 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1560 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1560 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1255 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1255
