Smart modern waterfront housing on the St Peter's Basin development. The area was once, as its name implies, given over to rope works in conjunction with the shipbuilding industsry on the Tyne. The promenade is part of a largely traffic-free route along the north side of the Tyne which is followed by both Hadrian's Wall National Trail http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall/ and by route 72 of the National Cycle Network (Hadrian's Cycleway http://www.cycle-routes.org/HADRIANSCYCLEWAY/and the Tynemouth branch of the C2C Cycle Route http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/).
