Five areas of Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Sunderland sit alongside two main rivers the Tyne and the Wear, where the county derived its name. Famous for award winning beaches and unspoilt countryside the region's early fortunes came from wool and coal before it became the biggest shipbuilding region in the world. Regeneration has lead to the creation of new leisure and cultural facilities with a wealth of galleries, museums, and theatres. The region is home to many exciting restaurants and cafes while the city pubs and clubs offer a vibrant night life.
