The main attractions in Tynemouth are the Land of Green Ginger [a maze of small independant shops] and the Tynemouth Flea Market [Saturday and Sunday only]. Tynemouth is served by Tynemouth Metro stop and is easily accessible. Land of Green Ginger is a converted church housing book shops, aroma therapy, candles - in short a 'quaint' shopping centre with rickety stairs.

Tynemouth flea market is a covered market set in the opulent surrounds of the restored Victorian railway station - haggle and browse to your heart's content a selection of craft, bric-a-brac, furniture, china and more.
