Getting Here
North East England is easy to get to, with excellent motorway access from the south, the west and Scotland via the A1(M) and the A66 and A69 direct connections from the M6.
Getting to the region by air or by rail is a breeze; Newcastle is just two and a half hours from London by train and our two international airports, Newcastle International Airport and Durham Tees Valley Airport, connect with many direct flights from the rest of the UK and worldwide.
