Tynemouth Priory and Castle Concerts

My first review disappeared This castle and priory are very interesting and well worth a visit. The ruins are steeped in history and you can note the beauty of the sandstone which has been weathered by the wind and salty atmosphere, the small chapel with stained glass windows is particularly beautiful. Also of interest is the cemetery with the raised horizontal grave stones. Most of the vertical grave stones are inclined probably due to the wind over the centuries. If you are in the area don't miss the opportunity to visit, you won't regret it.

One of the beautiful scene in UK. Cold in winter so please bring a coat with you. Dogs will like to run freely in this place. Waves and tides are actively dancing. Restaurants and couples of car parks nearby. Excellent choice for spending a weekend with your friends or family here. Lastly, I love the seat which put there very much, it was well designed and be put at some perfect positions, I will draw something or read few pages on the seat in front of the sea and make friends with the birds.

Thanks for My CADW Membership status I had a chance to enter for FREE even despite just 30mins left before closing time! (Godbless Staff Member who let me in! 🙏). ...and You know what? This half an hour was definitely enough to (-speedy - 💨tbh) explore it! Beautiful set up, on the edge of cliff site brings me some kind of associations with Whitby Abbey! Great piece of history but pity that not much left. This military stuff also ruins a bit of atmosphere but understand the importance of it. Still worth it but I would feel probably ripped off if have to pay full price! 🏰⛪🪖

Beautiful ruins at a spectacular beach cliff at the mouth of the Tyne river. Also good views from the Newcastle - Amsterdam ferry. Only remark: why allow the ice cream truck to park tight in front of the ruins, spoiling the views and pictures.

Another place in the North East steeped in history. A scenic ally located Priory and fortified headland. Excellent storyboards laid out to describe the events. Great views of the sea and Tyne estuary. From ancient to modern are encapsulated within its walls. No parking but there is close by No cafe so take a picnic
