Tynemouth Priory Moonrise

The full moon rising beside the ancient ruins of Tynemouth Priory, glowing gold against the deep blue of the evening sky. A quiet meeting of North East history, coastline and moonlight. Tynemouth Priory and Castle stands high above the North Sea on a headland that has been occupied for centuries. Once one of the most important religious sites in the region, its dramatic medieval ruins have watched over the mouth of the River Tyne for generations.
