Tynemouth You can walk up from North Shields – it’s especially nice to walk along the front up a slight hill or you can take the free bus opposite the ferry landing (just show your ferry ticket) to North Shields town centre (not a tourist place) and get the metro to Tynemouth or you can get the bus all the way to Tynemouth ( a little past the centre – ask the bus driver where to get off – then walk to the front and turn right). The Priory Tynemouth priory is located on a rocky headland, overlooking Tynemouth Pier. The moated castle-towers, gatehouse and keep are combined with the ruins of the Benedictine priory where early kings of Northumbria were buried. It’s run by English Heritage and there is an entrance fee (so we’ve never been in!) The beach Beautiful big beach and also King Edward’s Bay. The Market There is a lovely craft/collectables/second hand market inside the Victorian train station on a Saturday and Sunday. Well worth a mooch about and also there’s a nice pub on the station. Places to eat and drink Lots of restaurants, bars and cafes on the main street also: Riley’s Fish Shack This is right on the beach on King Edward’s Bay. It used to be a one man enterprise off the back of a bike and now is a fancy eating place. It is eye wateringly expensive but maybe worth doing just the once. You need to book and pay a £25 deposit per person (a clue to the prices!!!) Vineyard 72 Land of Green Ginger, 78 Front St, NE30 4BP. Great place for a glass of wine and fantastic sharing boards of cheeses and meats. We love it. Cullercoats and Whitley Bay If you follow the coast up from Tynemouth you get to Cullercoats and Whitley Bay which are both worth a visit. Whitley Bay has the famous ‘Spanish City’. This used to be a fairground amongst other things but is now a food/drink/wedding venue.

Beautiful Day out for everyone and only 30 mins travel on the metro from my door. The beaches are stunning. Great for fish and chips.
