Commanding a superb defensive position on a headland overlooking the Tyne, the ruins of Tynemouth Priory and Castle are now surrounded only by gravestones and seagulls. But for most of its 2,000-year history, the headland was inhabited by communities of monks and soldiers. This new guidebook, packed with photographs, drawings and eyewitness accounts provides a fully illustrated tour and a history of this remarkable site.
