Newcastle’s history dates back to the second century, to a small Roman settlement called Pons Aelius. In fact, parts of Hadrian’s Wall can still be seen from the city. From this small settlement it has grown into a thriving city, famous for its vibrant nightlife.
As one of the UK’s cleanest cities, Newcastle is likely to trigger less hayfever symptoms than other cities. This is because pollen particles stick to pollution, meaning that in heavily polluted cities, the pollen stays in the air for longer than normal. That said, no city is completely pollen free, so keep an eye on our pollen forecast for an idea of when the pollen count is likely to be high.
Hayfever symptoms are caused by tree, grass and weed pollen, which can all be found in Newcastle. Popular tree species include birch, yew, elm and oak, which are all common perpetrators when it comes to causing hayfever symptoms. Trees tend to pollen from as early as February to around July.
