What are your favourite UK towns and cities to visit?(Besides London)

[ATaleofTwentyCities]

I'm always looking for somewhere new to visit and I wondered what other Mumsnetter's favourite places to visit are?

TIA

Why? Genuine question

Hmm. We have similar tastes in small towns!

Bristol
Glasgow
Chester
Whitby
Buxton
Sheffield
Petworth
Ludlow
Dartmoth
Porthleven
St David’s
New Quay Ceredigon
Machynlleth

Manchester
Harrogate
York
Bath
Edinburgh
Stratford-upon-Avon
Chester
Bournemouth
Nottingham
Whitby
Scarborough
Bristol
Lake District (I know it's not a town or city but a very pretty place)

Gosh seriously Bristol! I live in the suburbs and never visit the City. It is minging, a ghost town of boarded up shops and famous for its graffiti mostly inspired by Banksy 😞

Oxford - surprised me recently and had a great weekend there.

Also votes for York, Edinburgh and Whistable.

Why Coventry?
Why Sheffield?
Not being mean, genuinely wondering about attractions.

Edinburgh
Oxford
York

I love the diversity, the cathedral, the old historical nuts and crannies…. The lil peeping Tom that comes out looking at Lady Godiva. Love the Herbert art gallery and transport museum….I dunno… I just like Cov! 😂 It feels like a raw place. I admit, not very mumsnet, but 10 miles down the road is Warwick I guess and 15 Stratford upon Avon for a naicer vibe 😜.

I'm surprised at people saying Warwick...apart from the Castle the town is a bit crap I thought (have been twice for work)

Bath is beautiful 😍

Norwich (closest city to where I grew up) hope to return to visit soon.

Glasgow (closest city to where I lived for 15 years) great place to visit.

Edinburgh close to where I live now. Great place to visit but I have to admit I prefer Glasgow if I had to choose.

Ive worked all over the midlands. I agree. Warwick town is very bland, very white and very meh.

We had a great day in Dundee last week.

It's not a town but I adore the Gower in south wales

York,
Liverpool,
Sheffield,
Manchester,
Chester,
Harrogate,
Bristol.

Dundee is great! Very underrated..

Bath was a big hit last summer - we had a great time.
Cambridge I enjoyed.

York
Chester
Warwick
Whitby
Liverpool
Cardiff

Winchester, Salisbury, Cambridge, Oxford, Bath, York and Bristol

Please what does anyone enjoy in Bristol! Lived here all my life and can't see any positives now. Used to love it 50 years ago 😃

York
Edinburgh
Oxford
Malmesbury
Cirencester
Marlborough
St Ives

Bath
York
Chester
Oxford
Cambridge
Liverpool
Stratford-Upon-Avon

My faves: Liverpool and Aberdeen

Want to go to: Chester, Cirencester

Small town curveball: Rochester. Went there just for family history reasons but was surprised to love it. Cute and full of history.

I’m really not a city person or even a town person and have been to many mentioned above but Glasgow is different. I wouldn’t live there but there’s something about it I can’t help but like.
