North East England. Full of unexpected pleasures.

Whether enjoying a warm welcome from the iconic Angel of the North sculpture, roaming the stunning grounds of Alnwick Castle - the home of Hogwarts School in the Harry Potter films, or immersing yourself in 2,000 years of Roman history along Hadrian's Wall, there's something to surprise and delight every traveller. And with Emirates now flying daily to Newcastle, it's even easier to sample this region's fascinating blend of past and present.
