Usually, the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade (TVLB) are being called out to help people in distress on the North East coast.
However, the action never stops at the team's Watch House, as when they're not out on rescue missions, tourists often visit the charming building on Spanish Battery in the village, which has been named one of the best places to live in the UK. And now, the volunteer life brigade is celebrating after the museum was declared a 2022 Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award winner.
The award celebrates tourist destinations across the globe which have received great reviews from visitors over the last year. Award winners are those among the top 10% of listings on the aggregator, chosen from accommodation, attractions and restaurants that demonstrate "excellence."
