Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

A castle and a priory and WW2 history all on the same site. Access to sandy beach. Toilets very clean. Helpful staff. We took the metro from Newcastle to Tynemouth - easy walk from the station. Would like to have investigated longer but this was a winter visit. We will go back in the summer hopefully.

There were three kings buried here: Osred II, Oswine and Malcolm of Scotland.
It was a cold, damp, dank day and our second grim day in a row. We had never before visited this part of England and it was as dismal as a place could be.
A thick fog enveloped the whole place blotting out almost all sunlight. The sun was a disc in the sky with no power. The fog horns on the Tyne blew their warnings - it seemed constant.
If 3 witches had gathered at this 1300 year old ancient site for double, double, toil and trouble they wouldn’t be out of place.
The climate hasn’t much changed in the last 1000 years as church authorities even sent naughty monks here from St Alban’s in southern England. A letter survives from the 13th century:
‘Our house is confined to the top of a high cliff … day and night the waves break and roar and undermine the cliff. Thick sea frets roll in, wrapping everything in gloom. Dim eyes, hoarse voices, sore throats are the consequence.’
The note could have been written yesterday. I can only give a snapshot of the huge history here. The first monastery existed in the 8th century as Bede wrote of Heribald, an abbot of Tynemouth who died in 745, and it was sufficiently established in 792 when Osred II, King of Northumbria, was buried in its church.
In the 11th century, a story emerged that the monastery was founded in the 7th century, when Oswine, a Northumbrian king, was buried there. Oswine was murdered by a rival, Oswiu, who afterwards established a monastery at Tynemouth in penance, which became a focus for Oswine as a saint.
In the 9th century the monastery was flourishing. It became a target for raids in 800, 832, 865, 870, and one in 875 that finally destroyed it. Although no buildings survive from the monastery, fragments of Anglo-Saxon crosses have been discovered on or close to the headland and archaeologists have found traces of five rectangular timber buildings which may have been part of it.
It was rebuilt and began to flourish again for a few 100 years but in January 1539 the priory fell victim to the nationwide Dissolution of the Monasteries.
All the priory lands and possessions were surrendered to the king, St Oswine’s shrine was destroyed and monastic life at Tynemouth came to an end. Thereafter it became a military base used for civil and world wars right up to 1956.

Las ruinas del priorato y el castillo de Tynemouth se encuentran en un paraje muy bonito, en un promontorio frente al mar del Norte, flanqueadas por las bahías de Tynemouth a la derecha y King Edward a la izquierda. Su acceso es muy cómodo ya que se encuentra a un paseo de diez minutos de la estación del metro. Abre todos los días de 10.00 a 17.00 horas y el precio de la entrada es de 7 libras. El conjunto monumental comprende las torres del castillo, el foso, la puerta de entrada y el torreón, así como las ruinas del priorato benedictino donde fueron enterrados los primeros reyes de Northumbria, rodeadas por un cementerio. Aunque no queda mucho en pie, el sitio es espectacular, y las vistas de Tynemouth son preciosas, así que si nos encontramos por la zona no deberíamos dejar de visitar este enclave.

Absolutely fantastic. If you love ruins, you'll love this place. So much to explore. It is very windy and coastal, so wear a coat.

What a lovely castle & Abbey, we were extremely fortunate with the weather. A beautiful day and as numerous people have said spectacular views, the staff are very friendly and helpful. We were allowed to go in with our little dog which is always a massive plus for us. We have both commented that it is so rare to find somewhere that spans such a long period of use. We will return again at some point

This place would have gotten 5/5 if they had had parking.
Brilliant place to visit, the views are stunning. The history behind it is fascinating. But on busy days your either not getting a parking place or you may have to walk a fair distance from your car to the Castle. Which we found annoying as we paid entry online the evening before, so could have been a waste. However, we eventually got parked and Wow it was worth it - the views are amazing North, South and West.

These are very dramatic ruins overlooking the bay and beaches of Tynemouth. Apart from the small chapel which is well-worth entering to soak up the atmosphere, the rest of the castle and chapel is open to the elements. It is probably quite chilly and windy to visit most of the time, but we were there on the hottest day of the year so it was delightfully cooler than most places! If you are a photographer you can get some great shots from up here.

A great visit with a 10 year old. She has a passing interest in history so was happy to have a quick look at the castle.
We had a brief wander and then stopped off for ice cream. Beware of the prices there. 7 quid for 2 small tubs. Not a major issue, but that is taking the Michael.

Do I understand from one of the Tripadvisor comments that if you stay outside the Tynemouth Priory and Castle buildings you can be on the grounds without charge? We just want to take some scenic photos.
