Tynemouth is a town and a historic borough in Tyne and Wear, England at the mouth of the River Tyne. Historically part of Northumberland, the modern town of Tynemouth includes North Shields and Cullercoats. Its history dates back to an Iron Age settlement and its strategic position on a headland over-looking the mouth of the Tyne continued to be important through to the Second World War. Its historic buildings, dramatic views and award-winning beaches attract visitors from around the world. The heart of the town, known by residents as The village, has popular coffee-shops, pubs and restaurants. It is a prosperous area with comparatively expensive housing stock, ranging from Georgian terraces to Victorian ship-owners' houses to 1960s executive homes. It is represented at Westminster by the Labour MP Alan Campbell.
The queens of Edward I and Edward II stayed in the Castle and Priory while their husbands were campaigning in Scotland. King Edward III considered it to be one of the strongest castles in the Northern Marches. After the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, Edward II fled from Tynemouth by ship. A village had long been established in the shelter of the fortified Priory and c. 1325 the Prior built a port for fishing and trading. This led to a dispute between Tynemouth and the more powerful Newcastle over shipping rights on the Tyne which continued for centuries. Prince Rupert of the Rhine landed at Tynemouth in August 1642 on his way to fight in the English Civil War.
In the late 18th century, sea-bathing became fashionable in Tynemouth from its east-facing beaches. King Edward's Bay and Tynemouth Longsands are very popular with locals and tourists alike. Prior's Haven is a small beach within the mouth of the Tyne, sheltered between the Priory and the Spanish Battery, with the Pier access on its north side. It was popular with Victorian bathers[8] and is now home to Tynemouth Rowing Club and the local sailing club.
King Edward's Bay (possibly a reference to Edward II) is a small beach on the north side of the Priory, sheltered on three sides by cliffs and reached by stairways, or, by the fit and adventurous who understand the weather and tides, over the rocks round the promontories on the north or south sides. Longsands is the next beach to the north, an expanse of fine sand 1200 yards long, lying between the former Tynemouth outdoor swimming pool and Cullercoats to the north.
A lighthouse was built on the North Pier in 1864, but when the pier had to be rebuilt to a new design a new lighthouse was required. The work was undertaken by Trinity House, beginning in 1903; the lighthouse was finished before the pier itself, and was first lit on 15 January 1908. It remains in use today. Before the pier was built, a lighthouse stood within the grounds of Tynemouth Priory and Castle. It was demolished in 1898-99. It stood on the site of the now-disused Coastguard Station.

Whitley Bay is a seaside town on the north east coast of England. Historically in Northumberland, it is now part of Tyne and Wear. Whitley Bay has absorbed the village of Monkseaton. Though since known officially as Whitley Bay, many residents still refer to the town as 'Whitley'.
Whitley Bay is around 10 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. It is bounded by the coastline of the North Sea to the east. North Shields and Tynemouth are to the south. The village of Monkseaton is now absorbed into the town. St Mary's Island, a tidal island at the northern tip of the town, is the site of a lighthouse, one of the town's landmarks.
The Tyne and Wear Metro line runs through the town with stations near the town centre (Whitley Bay), as well as in Monkseaton, West Monkseaton and Cullercoats. A Metro journey to Newcastle city centre takes around 25 minutes.

North Shields Maritime Chambers to Cullercoats, North Tyneside ©
This is a 3 mile linear walk accessible by public transport at both ends. I began at North Shields Maritime Chambers on Howard Street where I dropped down a set of steps down onto the quayside and a then turned left for the short walk to the Fish Market. By going round the Low Light Centre it is possible to get onto the riverside walk which takes you along the banks of the River Tyne to Tynemouth. At Tynemouth I took a combination of promenade walks and sandy beaches northwards. Occasionally cliffs forced me up steps to street level before descending again into a series of white sandy bays. There are plenty of cafes at street level between North Shields and Whitley Bay plus a couple of beach cafes. Alongside these are a lot of outdoor activity companies, such as canoeing, surfing and kayaking operating on the beaches supervised by lifeguards using a flag system to indicate where and when it is safe to swim. It is easily possible to extend this walk northwards as far as Whitley Bay or St Mary's Island.
Sound: Waves on beach at Cullercoats.
