We stopped here with our grandsons. Our elder grandson age 10 had read up information about it before we went and so gave us lots of facts about the statue. The younger one was at first a bit overwhelmed but soon warmed to the statue and enjoyed running around it. It is worth stopping here for a closer look as it is easily accessible just off the A1 with a small car park so if you are travellng up the A1 and want a short break you may as well stop here and stretch your legs

Grey's Monument is a Grade I listed monument to Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey built in 1838 in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It was erected to acclaim Earl Grey for the passing of the Great Reform Act of 1832 and stands at the head of Grey Street. In addition to being a great place to meet, Newcastle City Guides open this iconic monument on a number of days throughout the year. Join us on a climb of 164 steps and take in great views of Newcastle's city centre and beyond.

Apart from the Tyne Bridge, Grey's Monument is certainly iconic of Newcastle. It is the ideal meeting spot and in the heart of the town centre with nearby access to Eldon Square, lots of shops, a short walk from Northumberland Street, bars, restaurants and beautiful Grey Street. During the Heritage Open Days which take place in September each year, the monument is usually open for people to climb to the top with no doubt some fantastic views. In December a lovely Christmas market takes place here. You can get the Metro directly to this area, as well as bus services.
