Marsden Beach, Souter Lighthouse + Arbeia | South Shields

In today's video, I visit South Shields on a cold and blustery, summer day. I first take a tour of the Sunderland National Trust Souter Lighthouse and the Leas (a Grade II listed building) , after a quick bite for lunch we head along the South Shields Coastal Walk with Marsden Beach set in our sights. On arriving, we explore Marsden Rock, Marsden beach rockpools, checking out other people's finds, once the chilly weather got the better of us, we head into the Marsden Grotto to warm up with hot drinks, before heading back to Souter Lighthouse, Sunderland where we parked the car. Next it was a short drive to the northern end of South Tyneside to visit the free to enter, Arbeia Roman Fort. It was used at first to protect the mouth of the river Tyne, ensuring goods could reach Tyne and Wear from Southern England and Europe, and later became a supply base for the other forts along Hadrian's Wall. If you are planning to visit South Tyneside, I hope this video gives you plenty of ideas of things you can do as it's home to stunning South Shield's beach (s), the Souter Lighthouse tour comes highly recommended by me and the South Shields Roman Fort was a lovely surprise, especially given that there's no admission fee! 0:00 Intro 0:52 Lighthouse Exterior 1:35 What the heck is this?! 2:33 Lighthouse Tour 3:43 Lunch + Coast Path Walk 4:53 Marsden Beach 6:50 Marsden Grotto 9:15 Marsden Beach Steps 11:36 Arbeia Roman Fort "Summer Drink" by erink_photography is licensed under CC BY 2.0.
