Things to do around Tyne And Wear
Tyne and Wear, situated on England's northeast coast, offers a mix of urban attractions, historical landmarks, and natural beauty. Whether you're a local or a visitor, here are some fantastic activities for a memorable day out in Tyne and Wear:
1. Victoria Tunnel & Quayside, Newcastle:
- Victoria Tunnel, running underneath Newcastle, is a well-preserved 19th-century wagonway. Originally used to transport coal, it later served as an air-raid shelter during World War II. Guided tours take visitors underground, where they experience the darkness and learn about life during wartime. Above ground, explore Quayside, a cultural hub along the waterfront. Don't miss the iconic Gateshead Millennium Bridge, famous for its tilt.
2. Newcastle Castle & Grainger Market, Newcastle:
- Visit medieval Newcastle Castle, built on the site of the ancient fortress that gave the city its name. Explore restored rooms and learn about its history. Nearby, Grainger Market offers a vibrant shopping experience with independent stalls and eateries.
3. Angel of the North, Gateshead:
- Marvel at the Angel of the North, a striking contemporary sculpture by Antony Gormley. Standing 20 meters tall, it overlooks the A1 motorway and has become an iconic symbol of the region.
4. Arbeia Roman Fort & Museum, South Shields:
- Step back in time at Arbeia Roman Fort, an excavated Roman garrison. Explore reconstructed buildings, see artifacts, and learn about life on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire.
5. Tynemouth Priory & Castle:
- Visit the dramatic Tynemouth Priory, perched on a cliff overlooking the North Sea. Explore the ruins, enjoy panoramic views, and learn about its history as a medieval monastery and later a coastal defense fort.
6. South Shields Beach & Pier:
- Relax on South Shields Beach, stroll along the promenade, and take in the fresh sea air. The historic South Pier offers lovely views of the coastline and the mouth of the River Tyne.
7. Jesmond Dene Park, Newcastle:
- Escape to Jesmond Dene, a picturesque park with wooded valleys, waterfalls, and walking trails. Enjoy a leisurely picnic or explore the charming Ouseburn Valley nearby.
8. Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead:
- Art enthusiasts should visit the Baltic Centre, housed in a converted flour mill. Explore contemporary exhibitions, enjoy the rooftop terrace, and take in the views of the Tyne and Newcastle skyline.
9. Souter Lighthouse & The Leas, Whitburn:
- Discover Souter Lighthouse, the first lighthouse in the world designed and built specifically to use alternating electric current. Explore the rugged coastline along The Leas, a scenic clifftop walk.
10. St. Mary's Lighthouse & Nature Reserve, Whitley Bay:
- Visit the iconic St. Mary's Lighthouse, accessible via a causeway at low tide. Explore the rock pools, spot seabirds, and climb to the top for panoramic views. The adjacent nature reserve is perfect for wildlife enthusiasts.
