Dating back 2,000 years, Tynemouth Castle was once one of the largest fortified areas in England. Perched atop a hillside overlooking the North Sea and River Tyne, the castle has stunning panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.

The castle has witnessed many eras of history, beginning as an Iron Age settlement, before becoming an Anglo-Saxon monastery, royal castle and coast defence during the Second World War.

You can visit the castle from 10am to 6pm daily. Tickets cost £7 for adults.

Collingwood Monument and Tynemouth Beach

Highlight • Monument

There's an information board here telling about the history of the area. Up on the hill, there are great views of the mouth of the Tyne and the Collingwood Memorial. Locals are rightly proud of him of Vice-Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood who was born in Newcastle in 1748. He was an able officer who served in the American War of Independence and Napoleonic Wars. Collingwood was Nelson's Second in Command at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 and took command when Nelson was fatally wounded.

Highlight • Cycleway

Situated at the mouth of the River Tyne near Newcastle, North Shields Harbour is a historic fishing and trading town with roots dating back to the 13th century, best known today as the arrival point for the ferry between IJmuiden and Newcastle. Once reliant on fishing, salt mining and coal exports, the atmospheric Fish Quay, with its maritime heritage and authentic cafés, is now the vibrant heart of this seaside town.
