Organised by VisitBritain, English Tourism Week looks to celebrate the top aspects of visiting England and the attractions which make travelling worth the trip.
This year’s English Tourism Week runs from Friday, March 14 until Sunday, March 23 and to celebrate we’ve put together the top attractions in Newcastle according to Tripadvisor reviews.s which make travelling worth the trip.
Tripadvisor rankings are based on user reviews, weighted on a series of factors including the frequency, quality and quantity of the public round ups. This is why some attractions may be lower ranked than others, despite a higher overall average rating or having more reviews.
