TYNEMOUTH | 4K Narrated Walking Tour | Let's Walk 2021

Join me for a walk around the centre of one of the most delightful places along the River Tyne: Tynemouth! Home to the spectacular ruins of a centuries-old priory and castle overlooking the river and North Sea, along with gorgeous Georgian and Victorian architecture and a stunning pair of beaches, it's no wonder Tynemouth is one of the most beloved villages on Tyneside!
On our walk around Tynemouth, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including the Collingwood Monument, the River Tyne, Tynemouth Pier, Tynemouth Priory and Castle, Tynemouth Clock Tower, King Edward's Bay, Old House, Our Lady & St. Oswin's Catholic Church, 57 Front Street (where Harriet Martineau once stayed), the former Congregational Church, Huntingdon Place, Tynemouth House (where Giuseppe Garibaldi once stayed), Tynemouth War Memorial, Tynemouth South African War Memorial, The King's Priory School, and Tynemouth Station.

And welcome to this walk around one of my favourite places in the Tyneside region - the wonderful seaside village of Tynemouth, located (rather sensibly) at the mouth of the River Tyne! In our walk, we mention that before the Norman era, Tynemouth was a bit of a Viking outpost. It's unclear as to whether Tynemouth was actually a colony of the Vikings', but some language experts have noted that the accent of locals in Tynemouth, North Shields and South Shields is notably different to that of Newcastle - suggested by some to be because of a greater Viking presence here around 1,000 years ago :)

I love Tynemouth, I visit from Harrogate at least every month, coach to Newcastle then Metro to the brilliant market then a few pints in the Turks Head, thanks for sharing ❤

Tynemouth on a sunny day. Beautiful. Grey and overcast the last time I visited over 20+ years ago. Looking forward to seeing it all again next year. Cheers for Oz! Keep up the great work!

What a lovely coastal town, very unspoiled unlike so many in England. Have to admit I’ve never visited. The station is great, the Victorians really knew how to design beautiful railway stations etc unlike most of the modern cheap looking junk.

[@leeharwood9624]

We have a little slice if heaven up hear in the northeast. Most people from outside the area have no idea how beautiful it is up hear

Not far from my hometown amazing coastline in the summer...even more amazing when you see it snowing on the beach in the winter the North sea gets very rough I love watching the huge waves smashing into the two piers.

I lived 2 blocks up from the grand hotel in tynemouth on hotspur street for 12 years. It's nice to hear all the history

A place we are very familiar with - great to see it again after a long time!

[@2H80vids]

I'd love to get a look behind that door underneath the big memorial at the start. I wonder what junk, or treasures, are hidden away in there.

[@reddragonemperor3073]

Just avoid tynemouth at night and King Eddie's Bay if you plan to visit

[@steven5172]

It’s Tynemouth not Tynemuth it’s on the mouth of the Tyne not the muth of the Tyne
