South Shields

England

South Shields perches at the Tyne's mouth where river meets North Sea, linked to the A19 via the A194. The town's 12km from Newcastle and well-served by the A183 coastal route. With over 350 EV charging points locally, it's become a hub for sustainable coastal touring. The Original, the world's oldest surviving lifeboat from 1789, remains on display at the local museum.
