This ledge drop ledge is fairly cursty and isn't made much better by it's gravely run-up. It's fun for a one and done though

Crusty cobble bank with slappy in potential. Curb at the bottom so only really for going in. Nothing done other than a Jackie Young Kickflip

Maybe the gnarliest spot in Toon. A fat 3 flat 3 set. Can skate the two 3's separately or be like Scott Cherry and a select few others and send the full thing. If you haven't seen Scott's classic Sw heel get it watched. Great run up, quite a sketchy location however.

The Core

Maybe the best spot Newcastle has to offer. Everything you could want you'll find at the core. Ledges galore, manny pads, gaps. It has the lot. Sometimes a kickout but security also fairly lenient at times. If you're skating Newcastle you have to check it out!
