Newcastle: New Castle

Description

The building that gave the city it's name. Parts of the castle have been lost over time, with the main perpetrator being the railway line which runs right past the edge of the keep. The Great Hall and many of the rooms survive, and from the roof there are stunning views (though the crenulations were added in the 19th century as the castle wasn't thought to look castle-like enough!)
