Tynemouth Priory

About

Tynemouth Priory is a historic site located on a rocky headland at the mouth of the River Tyne. The ruins of the medieval Benedictine priory and castle stand as a reminder of the area's strategic importance, dating back to the 7th century. The site offers panoramic views of the North Sea and the coastline, with the remains of the priory church and defensive walls still visible today.

Surrounding the priory, the headland is a mix of grassy slopes and rugged cliffs, popular for walks and outdoor activities. Nearby, Tynemouth village features a mix of independent shops, cafes, and traditional pubs. The area is also known for its long sandy beach, which stretches towards King Edward's Bay, a sheltered cove popular with swimmers and surfers. The priory and its surroundings blend history with coastal scenery, making it a notable landmark in North Tyneside.
