If you were going for a UK long weekend away…

Where would you go?

I promised DH a child-free weekend away for his 30th birthday and I don’t know where to go. Any suggestions?

It’ll be the first May bank holiday weekend if that makes a difference.

Depends on your interests. Do you like beaches or countryside, city or town?

Newcastle upon Tyne. Near the coast if the weather is good, brilliant bars, restaurants, museums and galleries. Really good public transport too. Oh and loads of lovely friendly Geordies

Open to anything really. Just want a break.

York is great

The Cotswolds in a lovely spa hotel.

I was also going to suggest Newcastle! Great city, lots of great bars and restaurants , museums, walks. Really enjoyed it. Obvious suggestion is London but it's so massive wouldn't be so relaxing.

Or smaller towns say York? You want north or south, how far prepared to travel and where are you based?

Edinburgh or Cambridge

I would say York or lakes depending on where you are based

York or Edinburgh

What sort of place do you live in now ?

Edinburgh or possibly Bath.

Where are you based? Budget?

We loved Liverpool, loads to do, a really interesting City if you fancy a city break

York, Chester, Harrogate, Leeds, Buxton and Edinburgh are all good. You haven't said where you're based, so it's difficult for people to suggest places without knowing.

Chester is a great place to stay , lots of places to visit , shopping , with great food and drink .
We stayed at the Queen at Chester which is just near the station and a 15 minute walk into the city .
York is great too , again lots to see and do , we always stay at the premier inn at micklegate which is right in the centre of the city , book a meal at Bills too , great atmosphere and lovely food .

Liverpool is great fun

What sort of place do you live in now ?

We live in a large town in the South West. Very close to the Cotswolds.

We drive so can travel and happy to if it’s going to be a lovely place to go.

Just back from a fab weekend in Bath. From Edinburgh which is great, also been to York and Newcastle with DH, would recommend these too.

Bath is beautiful, but I feel like you may be pretty close to it anyway! Devon or Cornwall if you're South West already, depends what you want from a weekend away I guess.

We met near Chester so that might be quite nice.

We are near Bath but very rarely go there actually. Can’t actually remember the last time I went.

Liverpool or Edinburgh

I went to Liverpool with a friend last year and really enjoyed myself. It really wasn’t somewhere I would have thought about going to ( probably would have chosen Harrogate or Edinburgh) but It was a lot of fun. Very compact and walkable.
