  • North Shields Town Trail
    North Shields Town Trail The North Shields Town Trail is a two and half mile circular walk around the town which includes the town centre, Linskill Centre, Northumberland Park and the Fish Quay. The walk takes in many places of interest and buildings of historical note. There is a section of the route (to the Fish Quay via Tanners Bank and back via Union Quay Stairs) which has limited access. An accessible route is available from exiting Northumberland Park and rejoins the route at Tyne Street. The majority of the route is level and on designated footpaths however some surfaces are uneven in places and the terrain in Northumberland Park is undulating. The large print version is designed to be used in conjunction with the published trail, or a version downloaded from www.northshieldstowntrail.org, which includes a detailed route map. North Shields has a vibrant town centre; a green haven in the lovingly restored Victorian era Northumberland Park and a historic working fish quay. Three distinct characteristics of the town are brought together in a circular walk. Step out and discover more about the town’s past, the natural life that thrives in urban North Shields and the fascinating story of the Fish Quay. The original settlement dates to the early 1200s when a series of “shielings” or “shiels” – fisherman’s huts – were established on the Fish Quay. It is from these dwellings that the town gets its name, the shielings being on the North bank of the river. As the town developed, it spread away from the Fish Quay in the 18th Century to its current location with the building of elegant town houses that were home to the wealthy.
