Tynemouth was a settlement from Iron Age times and the headland was easily defended. The queens of Edward I and Edward II preferred to stay in the medieval castle there while their husbands were campaigning in Scotland. King Edward III considered it to be one of the strongest castles in the Northern Marches. After Bannockburn in 1314, Edward II fled from Tynemouth by ship.
Tynemouth Priory next to the castle remains and its east wall is one of the finest Early English compositions in the country. Nikolaus Pevsner, the noted authority, includes it in his hundred best buildings of England. The Priory ruins are maintained by English Heritage [http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.2 and are open to the public. There is a small entrance fee. The nearby Jingling Geordie's Hole inspired a legend and a folk song about finding great riches by exploring dangerous caves.
