Here at NewcastleWorld we recently launched our #LoveYour campaign, which aims to be a love letter to our wonderful city as we focus on everything from amazing pubs and top notch chippies, to the most beautiful walks and heroic people.
While we celebrate our fantastic communities all year round, this latest initiative will see us passionately discuss the reasons why Newcastle is such an incredible place - and better than anywhere else.
The people, the independent businesses and the beautiful historical buildings are just some of the reasons why we love the city so much, but what are your reasons the North East holds a special place in your heart?

2. The proximity to the coast
In our opinion, the North East coast offers some of the best coastline in the country - maybe even Europe. The sweeping Northumberland cliffs and beaches make way for resorts in North Tyneside such as Whitley Bay and Tynemouth, which are easy to reach on the Metro. | Fotomicar - stock.adobe.com
3. Newcastle United

4. Our airport is literally the best in the world
In October 2024 Newcastle International Airport was awarded the overall award at the World Routes Conference in Bahrain. This is the first time a UK airport has won the award. | Jason Button
