We are immensely proud that Tynemouth has once again been voted as one of the best places to live in the UK by the Sunday Times. Each year, a team of expert judges travel the UK in search of the best places to live and loved the time they spent in Tynemouth.
The judges praised Tynemouth for its “elegant streets” which “are home to buzzy bars and convivial coffee shops, as well as useful corner stores” and “beatnik beach hangouts”.
Elected Mayor of North Tyneside Dame Norma Redfearn DBE said: “North Tyneside is a fantastic place to live, work and visit and it is great to hear that Tynemouth has been listed once again in this prestigious ranking by the Sunday Times.
“With excellent schools, a variety of independent businesses and fantastic transportation links, we know how special and welcoming Tynemouth is to our residents.
“Tynemouth has become an extremely desirable place to live and we are proud to celebrate its thriving sense of community. With award winning beaches, Tynemouth Market, the Castle and Priory and the annual Mouth of the Tyne Festival, it offers something for everyone.”
