Plenty of restaurants, great views from The Baltic Centre Viewing platform. Seeing the Millenium Bridge lifting for river traffic and how pretty it looks lit up at night. Lovely to walk right along the quayside, great Sunday market here too. Brilliant bus service on both sides of Quays to town centre and elsewhere with terrific value £2 day ticket. More

Today the area is spruce and so modern, for the most part, that it's hard to believe the transformation. For an interesting hour or two's walk I would suggest... More

Simply one of the most atmospheric and relaxing areas in the North east of England. Lovley walks by the river and a good choice of pubs and restaurants to keep you busy. High class market on a Sunday morning. More
