South Shields, Durham, England

[Gadget]

Hi all

As someone who lives on Tyneside, I can give some info on getting from North to South Shields  -

either by ferry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shields_Ferry

or there's the Tyne Tunnel:

or you could take the Metro - but this means going in to central Newcastle and changing trains.

Alternatively, you'd need to take the coast road into Newcastle, cross the Tyne Bridge and then drive along  south of the Tyne.
