Tynemouth is a historic village in
Tyne and Wear,
England, situated at the mouth of the
River Tyne, between
North Shields and
Whitley Bay. It is administered as part of the borough of
North Tyneside, but until
1974 was an independent
county borough in its own right.
A statue of Lord Collingwood, who took command of the Battle of Trafalgar upon the death of Admiral Nelson, looks out over the mouth of the Tyne. The statue features the original cannons from his ship, 'Royal Sovereign'.
It is the site of Tynemouth Castle and Priory.
