Overview

Explore the site of the Castle that gave the city its name and discover its medieval gatehouse, the Black Gate. Uncover the changing face of the Castle through the ages: from royal fortress and border stronghold to grim dungeon and teeming slum. New exhibits allow visitors to experience what life would have been like for inhabitants in these two astonishingly preserved medieval buildings.

Itinerary

  • Newcastle Castle

    Newcastle’s most historic buildings, the Castle Keep and its 13th century gatehouse the Black Gate, were once part of a much larger fortress. Given its tumultuous history, it is miraculous that so much of Newcastle’s castle has survived intact. Today you can explore the ancient passageways and chambers where Kings walked and villains were imprisoned. Find the marks left by the inhabitants through the ages and learn the fascinating story of the Castle Garth community which grew up around the ruins. The two buildings that remain were cut off from each other by the Victorian railways of the 19th century - an unfortunate side effect of the North East's trailblazing role in the Industrial Revolution. Exhibits guide visitors through the Castle's history over the years: from settlement in Roman times, to medieval stronghold, use as a modern day museum and everything in between. Simply purchase your ticket from the Castle's all-new Black Gate reception to begin your journey.

Additional Info

  • Service animals allowed
  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • The Castle consists of two buildings: the Castle Keep and Black Gate. While the Black Gate is fully accessible, the Castle Keep has many steep stairs and uneven surfaces.
  • Dogs, with the exception of guide dogs, are not permitted entry. Buggies can be parked in the reception of the Castle Keep.
  • The Castle Keep is a Scheduled Ancient Monument with several upper storeys which are not accessible to disabled visitors. However, there is an audio-video walk-through of the Castle Keep in the Gaol, the only fully accessible room in the Castle Keep. The Black Gate, however, has been fitted with ramps and an external lift. This allows access to the upper-levels of the building, including the shop. The building also has an adapted accessible toilet on its first floor.
  • Steep uneven stairs that you should be aware of.

Great Castle

Published on Apr, 2025

Great castle, or rather, a former mini walled township. Such an interesting history with the Black Gate, Keep and former Garth. Great architecture, from Norman, later medievil, Victorian and Neo-Norman. Accessible entry with lifts available if needed. Plenty of things to do for children and adults alike with tours, activities, craft, brass rubbing, stories etc. Super views from the top of the keep, but there were lots of steps. I got my annual entry, and thought it was very good value in that respect.

Great experience for kids

We have been there the weekend before Christmas and our son (8 years) really enjoyed the nice explanation about the weaponry in the Castle. The guy that did the tour had great knowledge and made it a wonderfull experience from our end. Many thanks!

Fun for any age

Published on Dec, 2024

All of the guided tours were sold out but we still had a great time exploring Black Gate and the castle keep on our own. We greatly enjoyed the exhibit run by the Society of Antiquaries, a local historical society. The displays were excellent and did a great job showing the area throughout the ages (not just the medieval castle times). Staff was friendly and helpful.
