NO. 1： Newcastle

Newcastle is a bright， fast-paced city. Grainger Town is the historic center of the city， featuring impressive Georgian architecture1， but， for excitement， the quayside2 is the place to be. This modern complex of restaurants， galleries， bars， and other places of entertainment has replaced the old dockyards3， and overlooks the Tyne River. If youre in Newcastle in October， you can grab a few laughs at Newcastles world famous comedy festival.

第一：纽卡斯尔

纽卡斯尔是一个充满活力、节奏很快的城市。格兰杰城区在历史上是这个城市的中心，令人印象深刻的乔治时代的建筑是这个城市的一大特色。如今，城堡旁边的码头周围是纽卡斯尔最为热闹的地方：泰恩河两岸到处是餐馆、画廊、酒吧、客栈以及其他娱乐设施，取代了原来的造船厂。如果十月份来这里，你还可以赶上世界闻名的纽卡斯尔喜剧节，开心地笑上几回。

NO. 2： York

York is the most important city of the north， with over two thousand years of stories to tell. Its city walls and spider-web of narrow， medieval4 streets make it a unique5 place to wander around and discover.

The Merchant Adventurers Hall， an original medieval town hall， built in about 1360， is surrounded by unusual shops. In nearby Jorvik （the Viking name for “York”） there is a restored6 Viking settlement with state-of-the-art exhibits on all things of Viking. The Shambles， a set of medieval streets， gives you an up-close look at what neighborhoods were like in the Middle Ages. And no visitor to York should neglect7 to check out the darkness of the York Dungeons！

第二：约克

约克是英格兰北部最为重要的城市，具有两千多年的历史。狭窄的中世纪街道像蜘蛛网一样，两边城墙环绕，使得约克成为一个风格独特的地方。人们可以尽情徜徉其间，去探索发现。

商业冒险者会堂曾是中世纪时期的市政大厅，大约建于1360年，周围有许多不同寻常的店铺。附近有一个名叫乔维克（Jorvik是维京语“约克”的意思）的博物馆，是一座修复后的维京人村落，里面的展品具有维京人的艺术特点。肉铺街一系列的中世纪街道让你可以身临其境地感受中世纪的大街小巷。去约克旅游的人都会去参观阴森可怕的约克地牢。

NO. 3： Cambridge

One of the most famous university towns in the world， Cambridge is quiet and compact8， and easy on the walking traveler. Its one main street is lined with lots of unusual and interesting shops for the creative mind. One of the best ways to see the parade9 of colleges in Cambridge is from a punt10 floating down the Cambridge River.

第三：剑桥

作为世界上最著名的大学城之一，剑桥宁静且布局紧凑，徒步旅行者可以在此处悠闲漫步。它只有一条主要街道，两旁是各种颇有创意的商店。在剑桥，观光的最佳方式是乘着穿梭在剑河上顺流而下的那些平底小船，观赏鳞次栉比的各个学院。

NO. 4： London

Everyone has heard of London， and everyone wants to see London. Its one of the most interesting places in the world to visit.

Culture lovers have scores of museums and galleries at their disposal11.

第四：伦敦

人人都知道伦敦，人人都想看伦敦。它是世界上最具吸引力的地方之一。千万不要错过大本钟、议会大厦、白金汉宫、威斯敏斯特修道院、皮卡迪利广场、苏活区、科芬园和英航伦敦眼——这可是世界上最大的观光摩天轮，又被称作“千禧轮”。文化好爱者还有数十座博物馆和美术馆可以任其观赏。
