Seymour Court
Seymour Court consists of 49 stylish one and two-bedroom retirement homes, exclusive to the over 60s and conveniently located in the beautiful coastal town of South Shields. This attractive retirement development is set within a quiet residential area. There is a bus stop within easy reach which quickly takes you into the heart of South Shields where you’ll find a wealth of cafes, bars and eateries as well as your favourite high street stores and smaller independent shops.
Local Area
The town is also known for its wide range of restaurants, covering cuisines such as Italian, Indian and Chinese. It also offers some of the world's best fish and chips at the iconic Colmans, which is located about two miles from our Retirement Living development. Food aside, South Shields has many local attractions - a reconstructed Roman Fort, a museum and art gallery dedicated to local author Catherine Cookson, the Souter Lighthouse, the North East's only seaside fair, Ocean Beach Pleasure Park and many more.
There are a variety of walks and trails you can take along the gorgeous South Tyneside coastline where you'll come across beaches, coves and grottos, as well as one of the largest seabird colonies in the UK. For a day out and about, you can catch the historic Shields Ferry over the river Tyne to North Shields, or the bus or metro to Newcastle upon Tyne city centre.
