There
are two Newcastle exits from the F3 freeway, very close together.
Ignore the Cardiff one, and take the Newcastle/Wallsend one.
The "Newcastle Link Road" has three roundabouts. The third one dumps you directly into suburbia, in Wallsend.
- Continue straight ahead from this third roundabout. You are now in Thomas Street.
- At the top of the hill, there is yet another roundabout. (The
town planner loves roundabouts.) Turn right into Newcastle
Road.
- When
you get to Jesmond, there is a major roundabout. Take the right lane,
continue straight ahead, and proceed as for the "Travelling from
the north" directions.
