We did not expect to find anything so historic so were delighted when we came across this. Tynemouth is a lovely place altogether.
Set a few hundred yards from Tynemouth village on the natural headland over looking the entrance to the Tyne. Steeped in 1500 years of history including artillery points guarding the entrance during WW2. You can visit the underground bunkers and see the working conditions.
Picturesque and interesting and stunning views,great place for a walk and the kids loved rolling down the big hills
