This is the first of my two walks this week. A couple of years ago I bought myself a season ticket for the Newcastle guided walks and really enjoyed learning about the people and places that make up the town, however, I didn't manage to do the one round Summerhill Square and this was my chance to make up that. Summerhill Square is tucked away behind Westgate Road and is a little jewel. Our guided explained who had lived there, why there is such a lovely park in the centre of it all, and showed us where Robert Stephenson had lived and where a synagogue had flourished.
It was a glorious Sunday afternoon stroll. I can't recommend the guided walks highly enough, and if you haven't discovered Summerhill Square yet, make sure you do so soon!
