Take a short metro from Newcastle to Tynemouth Station on a Saturday or Sunday to visit the famous Tynemouth Market, where you can pick up toys, books, vintage clothing and bric and brac, alongside delicious street food and locally roasted coffee. Shoppers looking for something a little quirky should pop into Tynemouth's Green Ginger Arcade which offers a variety of independent boutiques, as well as an authentic 1950s-style diner. Stroll along Main Street in Tynemouth and browse the independent shops, bars and cafes as you make your way to the sea.
The historic Tynemouth Priory and Castle cuts a dramatic silhouette against the sky perched atop the cliff with King Edward Bay nestled below. The English Heritage property is a great place to visit all year round and provides the backdrop for the popular Mouth of the Tyne Festival each summer. While Tynemouth Aquarium is the perfect spot on a rainy day for families on a day out.
From the famous Riley's Fish Shack on the beach at King Edward's Bay to Crusoe's coffee shop, The View and Longsands Fish and Chips, you'll be sure to get your fill of delicious sea food freshly caught in the North Sea at many independent restaurants and cafes in Tynemouth.
