by Laura Reed – June 2025Tynemouth was ideal for the kids. The beach was clean, there's a proper old-fashioned high street with cafés and shops, and the ruined castle was surprisingly atmospheric (even if the 6-year-old just wanted snacks). Felt like a real highlight for a low-key afternoon.
Is it easy to park here?
Is this a place good to visit on a rainy day?
