Souter Lighthouse and The Leas

Opened in 1871, Souter was the first lighthouse in the world designed and built to be powered by electricity. Now owned by the National Trust, the iconic landmark stands on the coast between the Tyne and Wear. To the north, The Leas is 2.5 miles of magnesian limestone cliffs, beaches and wildflower rich grassland. Marsden Bay's cliffs and rock stacks are home to nesting seabirds. South of the lighthouse is Whitburn Coastal Park and Nature Reserve – reclaimed colliery land, now a haven for wildlife. Be sure to: climb the tower for great views, take a coastal walk for fresh air, cliff top scenery and wildlife watching, sample freshly made cakes and bakes, breakfast or lunch in the Lighthouse Café, discover the life of a lighthouse keeper, relax and play in the Foghorn Field. NB car parks are open daily for access to the coast (charges apply, free to National Trust members). The lighthouse is closed in winter but the cafe is open.

North East Land, Sea and Air Museum
Washington Road, Sunderland SR5 3HZ England
NELSAM (formerly NEAM), features not only military aircraft and vehicles but also many civil examples. There is a Mk1 Trident being restored back to its original glory, ex-Blackpool trams in their own specialised building and a great collection of military vehicles from the former Military Vehicle Museum in Newcastle are now on display here. The museum holds special events during the year and there are "Ghost Walks" held at weekends (but you MUST book there in advance as they sell out quite quickly). The museum is well worth a visit, but please plan your visit for around 2-3 hours so that you can see everything on offer. Nelsam is run by volunteers so access to the Vulcan, Trident and some other displays is subject to the availability of our members to ensure your safety. We have a small shop selling confectionery, cold drinks, a hot drinks machine, a large selection of plastic model kits, some Die-cast Collectors items and Museum specific souvenirs all at reasonable prices(very useful if you are looking for a gift for Birthdays or Christmas). We look forward to seeing you.
