Tynemouth Priory and Castle
Tynemouth Priory and Castle sits high on the coast of North East England where it was once one of the largest fortified areas in England. Overlooking the North Sea and the River Tyne, it dominates the headland standing defensively overlooking the entire area. It has an amazing history from its original beginnings as an Iron Age settlement, an Anglo-Saxon monastery, a royal castle and a coastal defense. The gun battery was designed to defend the Tyne in the First and Second World Wars. (Tynemouth, England)
