Make sure you have enough gas in the tank, because Newcastle-upon-Tyne is worth a detour. Located 35 miles from Hurworth-on-Tees, it boasts a few fabulous attractions, such as St. James’ Park and Gateshead Millennium Bridge. York, 40 miles away, is another road-trip destination that’s worth the drive. Check out York Minster and York Castle Museum, two top-notch sights in the area.
