There is much more to Tynemouth than just shops, bars and restaurants. Here you will find plenty of things to do that will entertain the whole family.

Tynemouth Priory is located on a rocky headland, overlooking Tynemouth Pier. The moated castle-towers, gatehouse and keep are combined with the where early kings of Northumbria were buried.

Tynemouth market takes place every Saturday and Sunday from 9am until 4pm in the magnificent, recently restored Tynemouth metro station. The whole market is under cover so there is no need to wait for a sunny day to make the most of it. There are dozens of stalls selling bric-a-brac and second hand goods as well as regular traders specialising in flowers, tools, toys, books, records, CDs, DVDs, cheese, meat, vegetables.

 

Tynemouth Pier is a stone breakwater that was built to protect the mouth of the Tyne from the ravages of the North Sea. Before the construction of the two piers, the mouth of the River Tyne was exposed to the full force of the sea and many ships were wrecked, especially on Black Midden Rocks. The North Pier extends from the foot of the Priory 900 metres out to sea. It has a broad walkway on top, popular with Sunday strollers. On the lower level is the remains of a rail track that was used by trains and cranes for loading ships.

 

 

Tynemouth Priory Theatre is a beautiful small theatre formed in 1946. They stage 5 major productions each year as well as an annual pantomime.
