      Tynemouth Castle is located on a rocky headland overlooking the North Sea in Tynemouth, Tyne and Wear, England. It has a rich history dating back to the Iron Age, with the current ruins mostly dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. Originally built by the Normans, it later underwent various modifications and expansions. It played a significant role in defending the region against attacks, particularly during the medieval period. Today, it's a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors stunning views of the coastline and providing insights into the area's history through exhibitions and guided tours.
