Set on a steep headland between the River Tyne and the North Sea, Tynemouth has always been as much a fortress as a religious site. Wander the soaring ruins of this dramatic 13th-century priory church and find tranquillity in the tiny chapel, with its beautiful stained glass windows. The restored magazine of the gun battery can be seen at weekends.
