  Oh dear, my favourite places, eh?

  1. Hancock Pub, next to the Civic Centre. (If anything, just for the restrooms… haha!) Some really great memories there. And the Civic Centre itself, too, the sculpture of the Tyne God being my favourite sculpture in the area.
  2. Anywhere on the coast, Tynemouth’s sunday markets are great, it’s so beautiful there. I didn’t go nearly enough.
  3. Central Station- great building, great links to the country
  4. Sandyford will always hold a special place in my heart, especially the parks. (The shoetree!) and the cemeteries.
  5. St. Nicholas Church has some great history, as well as the castle gate
  6. The Quayside is fun to visit, if you can avoid the area at night and when there are drunken chavs about. And I love looking over at the
  7. The big wide pedestrian bridge in Jesmond Dene. I like to go sit out there at night and just think things over. The traffic noises are not overwhelming, yet it’s got a great “white noise” factor.
  8. I have to add Heaton Perk in here. Fantastic little place.
  9. Grey Street and the awesome architecture.
  10. The people. I love the accent and the friendliness. Especially Beth and our blog readers!
