Discounted tickets for Newcastle Castle

Steeped in history, this imposing Norman fortress is a rugged reminder of northern England’s turbulent past.
Newcastle Castle is where the story of Newcastle began and the reason it got its name.

A defensive fortification throughout medieval times, Newcastle Castle is situated a short walk down the Grade I-listed 19th century Grey Street and in a prominent position overlooking the city's iconic Quayside. Occupied for nearly 2000 years, the area is a naturally defensible site with steep sides overlooking and running down to the River Tyne. Begin your journey by checking in with your pre-purchased tickets at Newcastle Castle’s Castle Keep. Visitors can explore all four floors of this Scheduled Ancient Monument.
