No visit to Hartlepool should miss out the Marina, it offers a huge range of activities from Cinema to bingo to, the now famous, Historic Quay where you can relive the sights and sounds of an 18th century seaport. The  Historic Quay is also home to the oldest British Warship afloat, the HMS Trincomalee. To receive a free visitor guide contact Hartlepool Historic Quay.

Jackson's Landing is a factory outlet centre offering substantial savings over that of high street store prices. The whole marina complex offers shoppers a wide variety of clothing, office, electrical and sports shopping. Restaurant from names such as Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Burger King and Henry's Fish and Chip Restaurant are all within walking distance of the Marina.

Further a field, 10 miles South is the large town of Middlesbrough offering even more shopping and nightlife. To the North is the City of Sunderland and Newcastle. Newcastle is regarded as one of the best cities in the U.K. for its nightlife and shopping and even more so for its architecture.
