Getting
to Newcastle using the UK's road network is one of the
most straightforward trips you can do, as it is conveniently
close to the premier north-south road, the A1. The A1 goes virtually from London in England right the way to Edinburgh in Scotland, and many people find that Newcastle is a great place to stop when they are doing that particular journey. From the South East, take the M25 which leads directly onto the M1. Once on the M1 signs will direct you straight into the heart of Newcastle, bearing in mind that the M1 becomes the A1 just north of Leeds. If you are travelling from the west of the UK then the M5 and the M6 will take you north, you can then take the M62 west to join the M1 which becomes the A1. And from Carlisle you can take A689 and then the A69 to take you to the North East's unofficial capital. In terms of getting away there’s plenty of places of interest nearby which are within easy driving distance of Newcastle. Gateshead, Sunderland, Berwick-Upon-Tweed are all close by with their own unique offerings and there’s also the unspoilt beauty of Northumbria’s countryside, ideal for a day of outdoor pursuits. As well as the other towns and cities of the North East, York, Leeds and Manchester are all within day trip distance. |
