Seven Stories
The national centre for children's books, housed in a converted Victorian mill on Lime Street. Start your journey here — seven floors of story, illustration and imagination.
Ouseburn Farm
An unexpected oasis in the middle of the city. Pigs, goats, chickens and beehives tucked into the valley just metres from Newcastle's bars and studios — urban farming at its most improbable.
Victoria Tunnel
A 19th-century wagonway tunnel built to carry coal from the Spital Tongues colliery to the Tyne. Over a mile long, completely hidden beneath the city — a piece of industrial Newcastle few ever see.
'Young Hearts Run Free' Mural
One of Ouseburn's most photographed murals — bold lettering on the valley wall, visible from the riverside path. A rallying call painted into the brickwork of Newcastle's most creative quarter.
The Cluny
A Lime Street institution. Part pub, part music venue, part community anchor — The Cluny has hosted everything from debut shows to Sunday afternoon sessions. Raise a glass to the valley.
Ouseburn Mouth Viewpoint
Where the Ouseburn meets the Tyne. Stand at the water's edge and look back at the bridges, the city skyline and the valley you've just walked through. The river that carried coal now carries stories.
