    Dating back 2,000 years, Tynemouth Castle was once one of the largest fortified areas in England. Perched atop a hillside overlooking the North Sea and River Tyne, the castle has stunning panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.

    The castle has witnessed many eras of history, beginning as an Iron Age settlement, before becoming an Anglo-Saxon monastery, royal castle and coast defence during the Second World War.

    You can visit the castle from 10am to 6pm daily. Tickets cost £7 for adults.
