Worth the trip around Newcastle
The places with the most to tell about. The numbers match the map.
Hadrian's Wall runs through the radius, and the list reflects it: Segedunum Roman Fort at 5.5 km, Arbeia Roman Fort and Museum at 12.2 km, Milecastle 10 (Walbottle Dene) at 8.6 km, 44 archaeological sites in all. Newcastle Castle - Keep is 0.5 km from the center; Tynemouth Priory and Castle (13.4 km), Hylton Castle (12.3 km), Seaton Delaval Hall (14.2 km) and Prudhoe Castle (15.6 km) follow.
Eleven lighthouses along the Tyne mouth and the coast, Souter Lighthouse, St. Marys Lighthouse, Herd Groyne Lighthouse, make this one of the stronger coastal lists, and Longsands and King Edward's Bay at 13.4 km lead 12 beaches. Penshaw Monument at 13.1 km and Grey's Monument at 0.1 km head 23 monuments. Coast one weekend, Wall the next.
Each hexagon covers a little over 5 square kilometers. The brighter it glows, the more places are inside it. The numbers mark the highlights listed below; the dot in the middle is the center of Newcastle.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
