🇬🇧 Saltwell Park: A Fairytale Escape in Newcastle! ✨

Ranked among Britain’s Top 10 Victorian Parks, this hidden gem in Gateshead is pure magic—and just a short bus/taxi ride from Newcastle city centre! 🌸 Why You’ll Love It Cherry blossom entrance + rolling green hills (perfect for picnic "log-rolling" 😉). Saltwell Towers: A Gothic-Elizabethan-French storybook castle (and Instagram gold!). Secret art legacy: Built by William Wailes, a tea merchant turned stained-glass genius (his work dazzled at the 1851 Great Exhibition!). 🏰 Castle Highlights ☕ Now a café/art space with: A Bridget Jones-designed stained-glass masterpiece (2 floors of kaleidoscopic beauty!). Open till 3PM (but park gates never close!). 📍 Practical Info Address: E Park Rd, Gateshead NE9 5AX Pro tip: Pair your visit with Gateshead Millennium Bridge (10min drive). #NewcastleUK #SaltwellPark #StudyAbroad #UKParks
