Newcastle - Day 3

We spent the day walking and sightseeing. First we had a wander in the Lit & Phil Library which was just up the road from the hotel.

We then went for our breakfast at Cloisters Cafe at St Mary's Cathedral, followed by a visit to the cathedral itself.

We went to the Discovery Museum and had a look round.

After this we caught the 38 bus to Jesmond, getting off at the Freeman Hospital. We walked to the Ouseburn in Jesmond Dean. Where we joined the river was a waterfall and a ruined mill.

We walked down the path next to the Ouseburn and came to a petting zoo with birds and goats etc.

We carried on all the way to where it enters the River Tyne. Just before there is the City Farm, where we bought some food to feed to the pigs in their muddy pen.

At the bottom we went for a pint at the Free Trade Inn, which has great views up to the bridges on the Tyne. After this we took the car back to Dean Street car park and went back to the hotel.

In the evening we went out, first crossing the High Level Bridge to Gateshead, where we had a drink in The Central.

We had a look at an Indian restaurant near there but decided against it, so walked back over to Newcastle. We decided to go for dinner at the COOP Chicken House where we had a half chicken plus chilli wings along with potato and sweet potato fries and various sauces.

This was what was left at the end!
