A Magical Day Trip to Durham from Newcastle!

🚆 Just a 15-minute train ride from Newcastle, Durham welcomes you with its rich medieval charm—like stepping into a real-life fairytale! ✅ Must-Visit Attractions 📍 Durham Cathedral – Upstairs, you’ll find an intricate LEGO model of the cathedral, showcasing its stunning interior design. Downstairs? It’s a filming location for Harry Potter—a must-visit for fans of the wizarding world! 📍 Durham Castle – A historic castle worth exploring (though it was under construction during my visit). 📍 Riverside Walk – At the edge of town lies this scenic riverside path. Absolutely worth it! 🍃 The atmosphere is serene, like a fairytale forest retreat. Perfect for strolling and photography, with fresh air and lush greenery all around. One of the highlights? Two elderly gentlemen we met along the way said: “Thanks for making old people like us have a good day!”—such a heartwarming moment! ✅ Food Recommendations 🍳 Riverview Kitchen – A must-try! Their Big Breakfast (£13) is huge and super satisfying. We were lucky to get a prime river-view seat, making the meal even more special! 🍰 Treats – Incredible afternoon tea deal: Cake + drink for just £5.45! Their hot chocolate is wonderfully warming, and every cake we randomly picked turned out delicious! ✅ Travel Tips • All main attractions are within walking distance from the train station, making it a stress-free trip. • The town has many cobbled streets, so wear comfy shoes for a smooth experience! 📸 Durham is the perfect day-trip destination! Whether you’re here for history, nature, or great food, this enchanting town will leave you wanting more. Come experience this real-life fairytale town for yourself! 💖 #staycation #travel #durham #uk #英国 #naturalwonders #unitedkingdom

當我來到杜倫(Durham)的時候,這座古城剛剛經歷了一場雪,從火車站出來的那一刻,就彷彿進入了哈利波特的冬天,看著不遠處杜倫大教堂的哥特式尖頂,這是多少哈迷心中的聖地巡禮啊~
