South Shields sits where the River Tyne meets the North Sea, and centuries of that meeting point still shape the place, from Roman fort ruins to a working harbour that gives the town its salty, unpretentious character. Mornings favour a slow start among the cafes, while a wider search for restaurants or a bed for the night among the local hotels rounds out any visit.
