Geocache Description:


Built around the historic Albert Edward Dock, Royal Quays Marina is now regarded as the premier boating facility in the North of England.  The Cache is situated on parts of the old lock gates.

The Royal Quays is an area of North Shields. It is on the site of former docks and contains the North     Shields International Ferry Terminal. Since 1990 the area was re-branded Royal Quays and redeveloped with housing, a shopping centre and a water park.  The area is centred on the former Albert Edward Dock which  is now the Royal Quays marina.
 
The nearest Metro stations are Meadowell and Percy Main. Loads of Parking nearby though the majority of   the series will have to be done on foot or by bike.
 
The Royal Quays is also part of the Hadrian's Cycle Way (NCN 72) (Incorporates Coast to Coast)

Well done to Molliemooze and Daddyanddude on their joint ftf
