Newcastle Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of St Nicholas, stands as a historic Anglican place of worship in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne. Its most distinctive feature is the elegant lantern tower, added in the 15th century, which served as a beacon for vessels navigating the River Tyne. Visitors can explore the serene interior, admire medieval woodwork and stained glass, and climb the tower for panoramic city views. The cathedral also hosts regular services and community events, offering a peaceful retreat from urban bustle.

Don't miss

  • Climb the lantern tower for sweeping views of Newcastle and the River Tyne.
  • Admire the 15th-century stone vaulting and intricate wooden choir stalls.
  • See the modern stained glass windows, including the Millennium Window.
