Breeze - Leisurely Tynemouth

This is a great route following NCN route 72 to Tynemouth and back again. The route takes in many lovely sights of Newcastle and the Tyne bridges, passing by Segedunum Roman fort, Royal Quays, Albert Dock Marina before arriving at Tynemouth and breathtaking views of the mouth of the river, Tynemouth Priory and the coast. This will be a leisurely ride, aimed at those looking to increase their mileage or would like a nice relaxed trip to Tynemouth. We will take as many stops as needed but provisionally these will be at the Royal Quays and then some lunch in Tynemouth before heading back. There are some short stretches of road once you reach North Shields but the route is mainly along a beautiful cycle path. The route is also relatively flat but there are a few inclines to keep it interesting. Please bring some money for refreshments, a pump, waterproofs just in case. Parking is free at the Hub.
