🇬🇧 Day Trip: Durham → Newcastle → Tynemouth 🚂🌊

After exploring Manchester, York, and Saltburn, we headed northeast for a triple-adventure weekend! 🌅 Durham (8:42 AM - 12:00 PM) 🍳 Brunch at Flat White Kitchen Greenhouse vibes 🌿 + 3 floors! (But warning: Matcha latte has cinnamon—skip if you hate it!). Classic English breakfast to fuel the day. ⛪ Durham Cathedral Free entry! Mini York Minster + Harry Potter cloisters (aka Hogwarts corridors!). Cue photo frenzy! 📸 🦦 Jellycat haul at The Mugwump Scored sold-out-online plushies + Tintin merch! 🌉 Newcastle (12:17 PM - 3:00 PM) 🚉 17-min train (£2!) → Quick pit stop before coastal bliss. 🌊 Tynemouth (3:30 PM - Sunset) 🚇 Metro hack: Buy A+B+C Day Saver (£5.90) for unlimited rides! 🌅 Beachside sunset + "blue hour" strolls—chef’s kiss. 🍖 Newcastle Dinner Stop 🐷 Thai House Cafe Legendary pork knuckle rice (better than Leeds’ Thai spots!). No reservation needed! 🚆 Return to Leeds (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM) ✨ Verdict: Perfect day trip—history, coast, and foodie wins! #UKTravel #DayTripGoals #Durham #Newcastle #Tynemouth #HarryPotterSpots
