Tynemouth Village from the Air

Dawn over Front Street from the air, the tree-lined green and its monuments running up the centre of the village while the priory ruins, the Collingwood Monument and both pier lighthouses hold the river mouth beyond. Streets empty and wet under a soft orange break in the cloud.

Tynemouth village sits at the mouth of the Tyne, its Front Street of shops and cafes running up from the priory headland. Steeped in history and ringed by beaches, it is one of the most visited spots on the North East coast.
