The townhouse is very easy to find: it is situated on Grand Parade, Tynemouth more or less equidistant between the Grand Hotel & Park Hotel overlooking the Tynemouth Longsands seafront.

From Newcastle upon Tyne: head along the main A1058 Coast Road towards Tynemouth - quite literally situated on the north side of the mouth of the river Tyne.

From the north-bound A1 or A19 route towards the Tyne Tunnel: travel through the Tyne Tunnel straight up to the first main roundabout approximately 1 mile away, turn right (fourth exit) on to the main A1058 Coast Road & keep the river on your right & follow the Tynemouth signs.

Southbound from Glasgow: Take the M74 to Carlisle, A69 Carlisle to Hexham (watching for the speed cameras) & on towards Newcastle then pick-up signs for the Coast. Tynemouth is 10 miles directly East of Newcastle, on the north bank of the River Tyne literally at the mouth of the Tyne. The A1058 is the main Newcastle Coast Road, which takes you directly east out of the City towards the Coast, the sat-nav will probably take you on a ring-road route, but this will be almost as direct & probably less congested.

Southbound from Edinburgh: Take the M73 then M74 route south to Carlisle, then follow the A69 Newcastle directions detailed above (watching for the speed cameras). Alternatively head south on the A1 (again watch for the speed cameras), turning off left towards Cramlington (after about 100 miles) & picking up the A19 Spine Road south towards the Tyne Tunnel. Turn left on to the main A1058 Coast Road & keep the river on your right & follow the Tynemouth signs.
