Newcastle town wall, Medieval city walls in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The Newcastle town wall extends for 2 kilometers around the city center, featuring multiple defensive towers and gates built with local stone materials.
Construction of the fortification started in 1265 with a special tax called murage, creating a wall reaching 7.6 meters high and 2 meters thick.
The wall includes the Morden Tower, which gained recognition as a venue for poetry readings and literary events in the 20th century.
Visitors can explore the remaining sections of the wall through marked walking paths with information panels explaining the historical context.
The western section contains three preserved towers: Herber, Morden, and Ever, forming the longest continuous stretch of medieval wall in the city.
