Ann Cleeves’ brilliant and no-nonsense DCI Vera Stanhope played by actress Brenda Blethyn in her trademark mac and hat has attracted a following of fans all over the world in ITV’s best-loved detective drama. Now fans will have the chance to follow in her footsteps on this chauffeured four-hour private guided Vera tour.
The award-winning crime drama is set in and filmed in Newcastle upon Tyne and throughout the North East of England. This half day Vera tour will focus on visiting some of the most memorable filming locations of Vera in Newcastle and North Tyneside.
The private tour will focus on Newcastle’s city centre including filming at the medieval castle which gave this vibrant city its name and the beautiful Quayside with its seven bridges crossing the River Tyne.
Continue downriver to explore film locations with a stop at the first Police Headquarters, the former fishing port of North Shields and the picturesque Victorian seaside towns and beaches of Tynemouth, Cullercoats and Whitley Bay.
During the private Vera tour, you will get to visit more than 15 actual locations from the very first to the last season of Vera. Featured scenes include episodes such as Hidden Depths, Changing Tides, Shadows in the Sky, A Certain Samaritan, and Inside and you may be surprised to find how many seemingly different locations were filmed in the same location over different seasons.
Throughout this tour there will be opportunities to stretch your legs, see some locations up close and several photo opportunities. The tour will start and end back in the centre of Newcastle. You can also order your Vera hat online and look the part on your location tour.
Please note that there is little walking involved in the tour. The longest walk is ca. 5 minutes.
Make sure you also book your place on the 8 hour Vera Tour of Northumberland which operates at weekends and goes to completely different locations to this tour which makes doing both tours a great choice for fans of the show.
