The city of Newcastle was in ancient times a Roman settlement, but it rapidly expanded on wool trade in the area. Thanks to its location on the north bank of the River Tyne, Newcastle became a major crossing in the area and it owes its name to the castle built in 1080, by Robert II, the son of William the Conqueror.

The passing years brought new industries to the city with the world's largest shipbuilding factories established in the city. Even though all these heavy industries are long gone, Newcastle is no less important today. The city just shifted from heavy processing to brewing and entertainment businesses with Newcastle United F.C., a Premier League football team in the area and became a showplace of the world's most popular half marathon, the Great North Run since 1981.

In addition, Newcastle won a reputation of the major educational center thanks to the Newcastle University formed in 1834. In the very beginning it provided lectures for 26 students only, but later evolved into a real center for teaching of sciences. This educational institution played a vital role for cultural development of Newcastle as such famous personalities as Rowan Atkinson, actor, and Ed Coode, Olympic gold medalist were university undergraduates.

From the glory bestowed on the city by its famous residents to fame it earned on its own, Newcastle is a chic destination to go to with Booked.net.
