A wonderful day at the historic North East coastal village of Tynemouth, dominated by its Castle and Priory (English Heritage) which was once one of the largest fortified areas in England, with 2000 years of history and beautiful views overlooking the North Sea and the River Tyne. Tynemouth station with its magnificent glazed roof has been gloriously restored to its former Victorian grandeur. Today the station hosts a general market with many stalls specialising in antiques, crafts, art, bric-a-brac, collectables and large variety of local fresh produce stalls. Also take a stroll along the sea front and the main street of the village for a variety of unusual little shops and tearooms.
