At the imaginatively titled Wallsend, the Wall finally meets the Tyne, and it’s final fort, Segadunum. I had a long look round both the museum and the fort site before heading back into town for some lunch.
With just a couple of hours left before I had to catch the train I took in a couple of the big free museums in the city. First off was the Great North Museum, and from there it was a quick hop on the Metro over to the Discovery museum.
I had lost track of time and only part way round the Discovery museum the tannoy went off to announce that the museum would be closing shortly, so I didn’t get to see all of it.
From the museum I wandered over to the Catholic Cathedral to have a look around, but that to had closed, in fact it appeared that all the sights in Newcastle close at five, so I headed back to the station to collect my luggage and have a bite to eat before catching my train home.
