I popped into Newcastle Cathedral the other day while wandering around the city center, and it was surprisingly cool. I mean, I'm not usually one for cathedrals, but this one had something about it...
First off, it's free to get in, which is always a bonus. They just have a collection box if you want to donate. It's a beautiful building, really impressive inside. The stained glass is gorgeous, and some really interesting sculptures and art. There's a new churchyard trail and landscaped terrace, providing a sanctuary to unwind.
I was just wandering around, snapping photos, and soaking it all in. I overheard a tour guide who was excellent and made the history of the cathedral extremely interesting. You can easily spend an hour or two just wandering around, checking everything out. They have a shop and a café.
It's a welcoming space, with friendly staff and volunteers. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Newcastle and want to see a bit of history and beautiful architecture. Plus, they have concerts and events sometimes, so check their website.
