With its 2,000-year history and beautiful views, it's a great location to have a picnic, lie back and enjoy the sea air.
Discover Tynemouth's role as an Iron Age settlement, an Anglo-Saxon monastery, a royal castle and a coastal defence. The gun battery was designed to defend the Tyne in the First and Second World Wars.
