Albert Edward Dock
Built within the historic Albert Edward Dock, Royal Quays Marina is widely considered the top boating facility in the north of England — and once you arrive, it's easy to see why. You get excellent access straight out to the open sea or can head inland along the sheltered River Tyne, making it a genuinely versatile base. The dock itself carries real industrial heritage, with original mooring bollards still in place amid the modern marina development.
