After Tynemouth we headed back to pick Jon’s parents up for a run over to South Shields.  We were heading over to the Souter Lighthouse<\/strong><\/a> … and then we were going to check out The Grotto<\/strong><\/a>.  We’d last eaten here over 12 years ago but it had been closed for a while.  It had recently been taken over and reopened – and we’d heard mixed reviews.  Our plan was to head down, have a drink and if we liked what we saw, then we’d stay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, we had a quick look inside the lighthouse. \u00a0The final climb up to the light was extremely steep – bit like climbing a ladder! Inside, the lighthouse and keepers cottages, it was like stepping back in time.<\/p>\n\n\n
