Castle Keep and Black Gate stand above the Tyne on the site of a Roman fort.
Estimated journey times
The Castle Keep and Black Gate occupy a defensible ridge above the River Tyne, where a Roman fort once stood. Walk down Grey Street, a 19th-century route of curved stone façades, toward the river.
The Tyne Bridge frames the waterfront, while the Quayside links river views with the older lanes uphill. Cross the nearby Swing Bridge to see how closely the historic centre and its crossings are tied together.
