Tynemouth is a town on the River Tyne as it reaches the North Sea. It dates back to the Iron Age and has always been an important settlement – particularly from a defensive position. Tynemouth is home to the ruins of a priory and castle, both open to the public. It is also a popular tourist resort in the summer months.

  Latest Tynemouth Review

  Tynemouth village is only 6 miles from the centre of Newcastle and offers stunning beaches and the picturesque Tynemouth Priory and Castle. A wide variety of water sports are available including canoeing, surfing and wind sailing. Take the family to the Blue Reef Aquarium and see some amazing sealife from seals and otters to seahorses and stingrays. There is a beautiful 18 hole golf course and a selection of parks, a leisure centre and Tynemouth boating lake offering something for everyone. In the evening you can enjoy a meal in one of the many restaurants on the front street, followed by a drink in one of the bustling bars. Tynemouth Station has a market on a Saturday and Sunday where you can grab yourself a bargain! - LouiseN
