Steeped in history, Newcastle Cathedral is one of the city's most iconic landmarks and the "mother church" of the Diocese of Newcastle.
Dating back to the 14th century, the Grade-I listed building dominates the city's skyline in all its Gothic grandeur and is home to one of the largest collections of ledger stones in northern England, with interactive displays that tell the stories of the characters they commemorate.
It's the perfect place to soak up local history, with spectacular stained windows that pay homage to saints and Tyneside pioneers alike and the iconic Lantern Tower which guided ships sailing the River Tyne for centuries.
Alongside regular worship services and choral music, Newcastle Cathedral also offers tours, talks and exhibitions plus a range of delicious food and refreshments at its resident eatery, Cafe 16.
