Ocean Beach Pleasure Park

Ocean Beach Pleasure Park is a great seaside amusement park. It is very interesting and is divided into indoor and outdoor areas. There is also a Ferris wheel from which you can overlook the distant scenery. Both adults and children have a great time!

Alnwick Castle

Ivek Castle, also known as the Sorcerer's Stone Castle, is the main location of Harry's Hogwarts School of Wizardry. It was originally a castle in the Duke of Northumberland County, and the second largest residential castle in England, known as Windsor Castle in the North. Every winter the host and family live in the castle, so it is not open in winter. There is an Aiweike Garden inside, you need tickets to enter, and tickets to enter the castle are charged separately, and sometimes you need to queue for tickets, so some people will give up entering the garden. Even if you buy a ticket, you can only visit for an hour. Entering the gate of the castle, you can first see the vast grass, many children come here, will run everywhere, play, have a good time. The castle is very characteristic and classic, with a humanoid skeleton on top of a door, chained in its limbs and pinned to the door panels. There is also an animal's head next to it, which is wide open and open, revealing long cavities, as if to swallow people. Watching it is also a bit scary. In the castle, there are regular performances, there are Harry ∙ Potter performances, and there are also bands playing. After entering the gate, there is a sign on the left hand side, which is posted on the schedule of the performance. It is best to check it out after entering the door. I have a number in my heart, and then I will rush to the performance venue according to the time. We just missed the show without looking at the schedule. And the band played on the grass, the brisk English music and all the performers would wear traditional English dresses, the scene was worth a look.

Newcastle Castle

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.

Arbeia, South Shields Roman Fort

Free museum. This is the easternmost fortress site of Hadrian's Wall, which was built by the Roman Empire to resist Scotland after conquering England. It was once lost, but was discovered again in the 19th century, and then lost again. Schools, farmland, etc. were built on it. It can be said that its discovery and protection are also very tortuous. The west gate and a barracks are restored here, and the rest are still the way they were when the ruins were discovered. The two small houses at the entrance simply introduce the ruins in the form of display boards and story recordings, and there is also a building block that children can design and build the appearance of this ancient Roman fortress by themselves. Very good!

Bents Park

It's just a large green space, nothing special. It's adjacent to South Marine Park and Sandhaven Beach, so even if it's not very interesting, there are things to see nearby.

Haven Point

Haven Point is a very good sports center, mainly indoors, the surrounding environment is really great, there is also a swimming pool and a spa club, it is worth experiencing, the membership system, the conditions for joining are posted, not bad! Very cost-effective

St James’ Park

Close to Buckingham Palace. You can see many animals. Pelicans, swans, black swans, geese, squirrels, etc. The playground is also unique and nice.
