Boldon Colliery is a little outside of the center of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, so there’s a high chance you’ll be doing a decent amount of driving. If you want to use Boldon Colliery as a base from which to discover the city and its nearby areas, go for a smaller car. Nothing beats a mini for maneuvering into those crowded parking spaces. Alternatively, if you’re heading away from the bright lights and slow traffic, go for something with a little more power and storage. Not many people regret splashing out that little bit extra on a premium or a full-size car.
