Take a deep dive into the darker side of the Toon’s past with this walking tour from Newcastle City Guides!

Rich in history, Newcastle has endured many turbulent times – some dying violent deaths and their murderers being hanged in the Gallows Hole, and others escaping their fate and murderers evading the clutches of the law.

Starting at the Castle Keep, you’ll hear of famous local murders from times gone by on this fascinating but grisly tour!
