North Shields

North Shields sits at the mouth of the River Tyne and takes its name from the 'shielings' or 'shiels' (fishermen's huts) on the riverbank.

You can visit the Fish Quay and sample some great fish'n'chips or enjoy a bistro meal whilst watching numerous vessels sailing down the Tyne.

What is considered by many to be the ultimate in local pubs can be found in North Shields. The multi-award winning Magnesia Bank features live music, good food and a wide range of drinks. Just along the road you'll find the modern Royal Quays district that features an Outlet Shopping complex, Marina, and waterpark.
