Good places to visit in the uk - ideas?

sooooo
The lovely Ian (phoenix) an i over the coming months and summer 9assuming we get one) intend on going to a few places around the UK. No doubt road trip style-y.

We live in Cheshire (near chester) - we do the regular liverpool, manchester, birmingham frequently (unless theres something good going on you wana tell me about?)...we dont mind driving a fair distance..

so tell me where we could go!

I'd reccommend York. It's a very pretty city, tons of museums and historical stuff if that's what your into. The shopping is also very good, lots of little quirky and interesting shops. On an evening it's a fun place too, some fantastic restaurants and lots of interesting bars.

Newcastle is also a great place to go, though that is quite a long distance for you I should imagine.

Uou've done a pretty good job of 'selling' you to me Heidi. Sounds good, quirky and intresting shops/places are always good...

especially as often big cities are very same-y in that all the majourshops are found there an not alot else.

<york on the list>

Edinburgh! Especially if you come during August cause we have the Edinburgh Festival then and there's just so much going on. It's pretty awesome and there's never a lack of things to do. Plus there's the Castle which is pretty cool (but expensive to get into) and if you feel like just chilling, the Gardens are really pretty. And of course we have all the usual shops and far too many touristy type shops.

I'd also recommend Cornwall, I went there on holiday last year and it was just so beautiful. The Eden Project is pretty impressive and St. Ives is a really pretty little town.



And the world spins madly on...

Longleat Safari is brilliant.
London is great - do all the tourist-y things like the London Eye, London Dungeons, Covent Garden etc
Camden Market :)

York definately. You could try going up to the moors if you want pretty places :) Knaresborough is good if you want somewhere quiet with little shops and a really scenic walk by the river. There's shops that sell sweets that's one of the oldest in england or something :)



See I cannot feel this, not matter how you try and in the real world, there's no goodbyes.

Stare at the hands, you know you want to ;).

Anywhere in Cornwall is gorgeous. Newquay is always a good option. Ace beaches, and lots of shops. And I also second the Eden Project. I've been twice and still haven't seen it all properly. Definitely worth a visit.

Longleat is amazing. I plan to go there at least once over the next couple of months. It's a shame Warminster is pretty rubbish other wise though.



It's so easy to get lost in constantly having to present
whatever face you believe a person wants to see rather than your own

York, Devon, Bath, Cornwall, Brighton, Cardiff :) stafford's quite pretty too, Poole harbour in Dorset. Brum's really good in the summer, the "beach" that's in the centre, the bmi baby one, its wicked cool :)
Swansea's lovely in the summer, when the tide is in, watching the sunset, and the mumbles, which is just down the road, is a nature reserve, one of those places of astounding national beauty... yeppps :)
