Tyne and Wear sits up in the North East of England, a compact county that manages to squeeze in some of the country's most vibrant cities, historic landmarks and cracking coastline. It's got a bit of everything going on, from buzzing nightlife and busy shopping streets to peaceful beaches and open countryside, all wrapped up with that warm, unmistakable Geordie character.

The county's roots go way back, with Roman soldiers once marching along nearby Hadrian's Wall, medieval castles watching over the Tyne, and coal mining, shipbuilding and heavy industry shaping much of the area's more recent past. These days, Tyne and Wear blends that heritage with a modern edge – old quaysides turned into waterfront hangouts, former factories now housing galleries, and old colliery sites transformed into parks and museums.

There's plenty to see and do across the county. Newcastle stands out with its famous bridges, buzzing nightlife, and cultural spots like the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and the Sage Gateshead concert hall just across the water. Sunderland brings its own charm with lovely stretches of coastline, the National Glass Centre, and a strong football following. The coastline itself is one of the county's big draws, from the sandy beaches of Whitley Bay and Tynemouth to the dramatic cliffs at Marsden. National Trust's Souter Lighthouse is well worth a visit, perched proudly above the sea. A bit inland, Gibside offers gorgeous landscaped gardens, and Washington Old Hall gives a nod to the county's links with America's first president.

Wider still, Tyne and Wear keeps delivering. Beamish, the famous open-air museum, takes you back in time through North East history with working trams, old shops, and pit villages. St James' Park stands tall right in Newcastle's heart, while The Stadium of Light holds its own down in Sunderland. For shopping, the Metrocentre in Gateshead is one of the biggest malls in Europe. Angel of the North keeps watch from its hillside perch, an icon that's become part of the local landscape. Walkers and cyclists can follow the River Tyne or head a bit further west towards the edge of Northumberland National Park.
