Whitley Bay was a tiny fishing and mining town in the 19th century. However, things changed fast as it evolved to a beautiful seaside resort. Tourists started to visit the town, thanks to the newly constructed railroad. Rising Sun Countryside Center is a lovely country park, where you can refresh and unwind. It has a big network of bike routes and roads so that you can enjoy the lush green scenery. The park comprises farms, forests, ponds, and lakes. Another well-known attraction near the town is Tynemouth Priory and Castle. It was one of England’s largest fortified castles. St.Mary’s Lighthouse boasts scenic views of Tyneside and Whitley Bay. There is a small retreat at the foot, where visitors can get acquainted with its past. Browse through this list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Whitley Bay, UK, for a homey stay.
