Completed in 1842, the Victoria tunnels make up a huge part of Newcastle’s history. Running from the Town Moor down to the River Tyne, the tunnels were originally formed to transport coal.

These days, there is 700m of preserved tunnel which has regular tours to walk you through the history of Newcastle.
