Tynemouth sits right on the edge of the North Sea, where the River Tyne finally spills out after its long journey from the hills. It's got that proper seaside charm mixed with a bit of history, great views, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it popular with day-trippers and locals alike. The long stretch of beach, the fresh sea air, and the old priory perched on the headland give the place a feel that's hard to beat. It's not too big, not too busy, but always full of life.

Tynemouth's been settled for centuries, with its earliest roots going back to the 7th century when the priory was founded. Through Viking raids, medieval battles, and later as a key coastal defence, the priory and castle have seen it all. The town grew as a fishing port and later became a fashionable Victorian seaside resort, pulling in visitors with its beaches and fresh air. Shipbuilding and coal exports were never far away, thanks to the nearby Tyne docks. These days, Tynemouth has kept much of its historic character while thriving as a commuter town and tourist spot. The population sits at around 17,000, forming part of the wider North Tyneside area.

There's plenty to fill a day or two here. The star of the show is Tynemouth Priory and Castle, looked after by English Heritage, standing guard above the sea with views that stretch for miles. Down below, King Edward's Bay and Longsands Beach offer golden sands perfect for a walk or a surf. The bustling Front Street is lined with independent shops, cafés and pubs, while the weekend Tynemouth Market in the old station draws crowds with its stalls and vintage finds. Not far away, the National Trust's St Mary's Lighthouse sits on its tidal island just along the coast, giving more brilliant views and a bit of a climb if you fancy the lighthouse steps.

The rest of Tyne and Wear's packed with places to explore. Newcastle sits just upriver with its shops, nightlife and cultural venues. Gateshead gives you the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, The Glasshouse, and the Angel of the North. Sunderland brings more seaside fun, while South Shields offers its own stretch of sand, amusement parks and Roman history at Arbeia Fort. A trip to the Metrocentre in Gateshead gives you one of Europe's largest shopping malls, all within easy reach.

Getting to Tynemouth's simple. The A19 and A1058 Coast Road give good road access, with the A1(M) sitting not far inland. The Tyne and Wear Metro runs straight into Tynemouth Station, linking the town with Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead and beyond. Buses run regularly along the coast and into the city. Newcastle International Airport sits about 30 minutes away by car or Metro, offering flights across the UK and further afield.

Tyne and Wear, created in 1974, pulls together Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, South Tyneside and North Tyneside into one compact but lively patch of the North East. Though relatively new as a county, it's steeped in history, industry, and coastal beauty. You've got the old collieries and shipyards, now mixed with universities, tech hubs, buzzing arts scenes and some of the best beaches in England. It's a proper mix that gives the place its own unmistakable identity.
