What's on in The Lawe

The Lawe sits right on the coast where the Tyne meets the sea, offering a view that makes you forget to check your watch. Arbeia Roman Fort Museum stands guard over the harbour with stories of ancient soldiers that keep history feeling very fresh indeed. South Shields Museum & Art Gallery is just down the road for anyone who prefers looking at paintings instead of staring at ships. You can wander the promenade when the wind picks up, or pop inside to see what exhibitions are currently hanging on the walls. It's a fine spot to grab a coffee and chat about local legends while you wait for the ferry to arrive.
