😀:The view was amazing. A statue is in the view too! We didn't get inside the castle, but I got to see the outside! I had an ice cream too. 🙁: I did not like the people with the speakers because they played loud meme songs. They also ran around too much.

One of our favourite places and beautiful walks, North Shields along the seafront into Tynemouth. Passing lord Collingwood monument up on the hill over looking the mouth of the River Tyne. Head up passed the Tynemouth priory and have a nice stroll along Tynemouth main Street, head down to the railway station for the market on Saturday and Sunday. We always chose the priory pub for a pint and snacks, sometimes lunch. Enjoy Cheers the Geordies

Wifey & I were staying in the south side but ventured north to visit the Priory. The history on this one site is amazing and I would whole heartedly recommend buying the guide book as it has so much more in it than you can just see. Despite the typical North Eastern weather we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back again. The help from the people in the ticket office/shop was. Stone helpful & friendly. Also recommend buying your ticket online as it’s cheaper than in the day !! Wear sensible footwear and be ready in case the weather changes

We spent a lovely morning here, managed to find a free car park near the Castle too. An interesting history, both long past and more recently. We walked freely round the grounds with our dog and took in the wonderful views. We wandered up into the town and ate a lovely meal of fish and chips.

We stopped off here on our way to Scotland Lovely sunny day, people on the nearby beach It wasn't too busy in the priory & castle Plenty of signage explaining what things are Parking was slightly difficult as the main car park was closed due to a cycle race, however we managed to find somewhere within a decent walking distance
