DannyBoyFromOz 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Planning on visiting the UK in October, have a few places on the list but can anyone suggest places which are worth a visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Other than Newcastle and the Northumbrian coastline, I'd recommend the Lake District for prettiness. York is canny too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBoyFromOz 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Cheers, had Newcastle at the top of the list, York was there too, but i'll definately look into the Lakes District Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 The lakes are class like. A must for anyone visiting, York is canny good too, 350 + Pubs, perfect for beer gardens and stuff. Bit of history too:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 the Welsh Borders are very pleasant in autumn Durham is a must in general stay off the main roads and take longer going from A to B and se the small towns and villages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 19803 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Chester is nice if your off to the Welsh Borders like Rob Suggests. If you visiting the Toon I Suggest Northumbria Lindesfarme & The Holy Island are a must Lakes Yorkshire Dales (Malham & Goredale Scar & Ribblehead Viaduct) Peak District (Ladybower & Derwent Water (Home of the Dambusters) Castleton) Wales (Snowdon & Surround Areas) Chester York South Coast, Cornwall & Devon. Croyde Bay, Padstowe. If your planning on Scotland too, Edinburgh & Peebles are the only places I know. Beautiful country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 If you're looking for outstanding beauty, then Snowdonia and the coast around it is the daddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 If you're looking for outstanding beauty, then Snowdonia and the coast around it is the daddy. Definitely, stunning views Also Scotland, around Loch Lomond too is well worth a visit. And of course I have to mention Devon, especially Torbay, Dartmouth, Salcombe and Dartmoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 If you're looking for outstanding beauty, then Snowdonia and the coast around it is the daddy. Aye....Snowdonia's belter and if you're there in summer, hop on to Anglesey and head for Trearddur Bay. Great beach if you can turn a blind eye to all the Scousers.

Toonraider 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 The Cotswolds too....Broadway, Upper and Lower Slaughter, Bourton on the water, Chipping Camden and Stratford upon Avon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBoyFromOz 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thanks for the suggestions, some places might be hard, limited on ways of travel thats all and only in the country for a top of two weeks but i'll definately keep the suggestions in mind. Obviously i'd like to get a taste of the culture as well as sights and history. As i said its only gonna be a quick visit because i'll be in Germany first and Ireland after, but definately hoping to return in later years so i will take all these suggestions into serious consideration.

Magma 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 You could also visit centre parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 On top of the places mentioned (and over and above those I'd say) you've got to check out the west coast of Scotland/the Western Isles. A bit hard to get to but that plus the subsequent lack of crowds makes it all the more worthwhile. Skye, Mull and Wester Ross are especially worth seeing. Try and go through Glen Coe en route too.

Would have liked to have headed north but only in Germany for a few days, spending those in Bayern, staying in Prien and heading commuting from there to Oktoberfest. Would have liked to gone to Hessen with half my family being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
