Why you should visit the North East in 2025 🌊⚽️🍕🌿🪩🥑🍂✨ I could go on and on forever about why people should visit our corner of the world, but in a snapshot… 🥾From Cragside to the Northumberland coast and in the heart of the city in Jesmond Dene, the best way to get a breathe of fresh air is by lacing those boots up and getting out on a walk. 🍕 Over the last few years the North East has grown heaps and bounds with so many exciting food and drink ventures. 🏡 Day trip to Beadnell, a ride up Saltburn’s funicular or perhaps a wander through the cobbled streets of Durham anyone? 🌊 From the top to the bottom of the region, the sandy stretch of beaches need no introduction. ☕️ The North East is far from short of fantastic independent coffee shops and if you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know how much I love discovering a new spot to enjoy a silky oat latte. 🏰 Northumberland alone has more than 70 castles, and there’s so much history on our doorstep, including historic cathedrals, National Trust locations and so much more to explore. 🛍️ Our corner of the world is packed with amazing independent businesses run by amazing people. 🏙️ The region is full of beautiful architecture. ⚽️ From heading to a football match to visiting one of the many art galleries, or seeing a pop-up exhibition in a cathedral, there’s so much to get involved with! 💡Taking inspo from @bykatieelena who did an amazing round up of why you should visit York, if you haven’t already, go give her a follow! 👉 @a_sliceof_thetoon 👈 👉 @a_sliceof_thetoon 👈 #newcastleupontyne #newcastleupontyneuk #corbridge #whitleybay #tynemouth #newcastlequayside #jesmonddene #newcastlefoodies #nefoodie #northeastfood #neblogger #northeastbloggers #cragside #northumberland #bamburgh #visitnorthumberland #durham #visitdurham #ukblogger #ukfoodblogger

This is Newcastle’s newest Neapolitan pizza restaurant 🍕🍕 ad. This weekend we went down to @wearerudyspizza which opened on Grey Street in Newcastle just before Christmas. Having been to Rudy’s a few times in other locations (there’s one in Durham too) we knew we were in for a delicious meal 🙌😋 There’s always two monthly changing specials up on the blackboard, as well as regular favourites including the triple pepperoni with hot honey which we had to order 🌶️🍯 We also got the Cinghaile which comes with spicy nduja plus I got extra cherry tomatoes, and we ordered an amazing rocket and grana padano side salad which was so fresh 🥗🤤 Both pizzas were cooked perfectly with soft doughy crusts, superb for dipping in their famous garlic aioli 😋 we of course had to finish with some desserts, including the gooey chocolate brownie and Rudy’s incredible Rum Baba ✨ The restaurant is laidback and rustic, the food is delicious and the staff are always helpful when deciding on what to order 🍕🙌 special mention to the toilets (weird thing to point out but…) the restaurant took over from a bank and has kept the old vault giving it a new lease of life 😂 📍 @wearerudyspizza 👉 @a_sliceof_thetoon 👈 👉 @a_sliceof_thetoon 👈 #pizzarestaurant #pizzapizzapizza #pizzanight #neapolitanpizza #neapolitan #pizzalovers #pizzatime #rudys #rudyspizza #newcastleupontyne #newcastleupontyneuk #newcastlerestaurant #newcastlefoodies #newcastlefoodblogger #nefoodie #nefoodbloggers #northeastfoodie #northeastfoodblogger #ukfoodie #ukfoodblogger #pizzaslice #oldbank #pizzamaking #italianrestaurant
