Hylton Castle was a medieval fortified manor house. The only remainder of the castle is the grandiose gatehouse tower, which originally stood at the west gateway to the house. The gatehouse was constructed around 1400 by Sir William Hylton and acted as the main residence for the Hylton family through the 16th century.

Tynemouth Priory and Castle is a complex of historic buildings that have been in use since at least the Iron Age period. The appeal of the site is its position on an isolated headland situated between the River Tyne and the sea. There was a native settlement here during the Roman period, and in the 7th century a monastery was established on the site, and Oswin, Northumbrian king and saint, is supposed to have been buried here.
