Cycling

Situated at the mouth of the River Tyne near Newcastle, North Shields Harbour is a historic fishing and trading town with roots dating back to the 13th century, best known today as the arrival point for the ferry between IJmuiden and Newcastle. Once reliant on fishing, salt mining and coal exports, the atmospheric Fish Quay, with its maritime heritage and authentic cafés, is now the vibrant heart of this seaside town.
