From Durham by car north, to Newcastle, compared to Durham Village, Newcastle is a big city, at Durham Railway Station, I also saw several students who went to Newcastle to eat, the train arrived in about ten minutes. Here I actually saw the wall, the Great Wall of Hadrian, in fact, this is the northernmost border of the Roman Empire's British province, and there is a similar work with China's wall, which is to defend against the northern invasion. Along the Tyne River from west to east is the entrance to the sea. The King of England built castles, made of wooden spires and earthen exterior walls. The new castle is the source of Newcastle's name.

Beamish Museum It is said to be a museum, in fact, it is more like a folk village, you can experience retro Britain, trams, small shops, very interesting ~ It is more suitable for hanging out and taking pictures, recommended!

The solitary monastery on the cliffs, which Bram Stoke had seen, was so broken and vicissitudes that he gazed at the northern coastline. The towering columns and famous rib arches were so majestic and silently recounting what had happened.

The Clifford Tower was built by William the Conqueror to suppress the rebellious North, and was once a Royal Mint, a medieval fortress and a Civil War garrison. One of the worst anti-Semitic massacres of the Middle Ages occurred on the site of the tower in 1190, when the Jewish community in York was trapped by a mob and many Jews chose to commit suicide rather than murder. Today, a new roof terrace offers unparalleled views of York's historic skyline, with its medieval architecture and famous cathedrals. Inside, new sidewalks and staircases open parts of the tower that have been banned for centuries, immersive soundscapes and stories bring to life the tower's turbulent history.

St Nicholas Cathedral The cathedral is beautiful and shocking. I happened to meet the choir singing, very beautiful harmony, echoing in the church for a long time, sacred and solemn! It is worth to experience carefully...

Built in 1200, it was once the residence of the royal family and one of the cultural heritage of Britain, but it is not open to the public every year after winter. Now the abbey and castle are ruins, the cemetery and lighthouse are full of historical thoughts, standing on the shore for future generations to hang.
