most interesting/exciting/unique place in UK ? -looking for a weekend away

[secondfavouritesocks]

Ideally in England, but open to other suggestions - nothing requiring a passport though! I had some excellent suggestions about day trips earlier, so am hoping for some good suggestion about this too - Likes in the family - nature, sport, history, animals, landscape.... but open to suggestions about things to see and do, as well.

Thank you for any suggestions. I think we have camped all over the place over the years, and seen most of the special places and things that I know about

What time of year OP?

winter - possibly before Christmas, its been a hard few months and we have the time and money and space for a little mini break

York. So much history.

What do you enjoy doing? That will help narrow it down.

Sorry - re read your post and you said your interests

I like cheddar woods resort and spa this time of year, a nice lodge with hot tub for the cold evenings and exploring during the day

Bath? Lots of culture. The spa is lovely, particularly the rooftop pool in the evening. Longleat zoo not too far away.

A B&B in Northumberland (possibly Hexham or Corbridge) and a walk or two along Hadrian's Wall, visits to Roman forts, or there might be events on at Kielder Observatory.

York or Edinburgh.

Exmoor is fab.

we basically like animals, history, sport, and landscapes

but we are open to other suggestions of things we have not thought about

Ludlow

Lundy Island

This observatory looks facinating

Kielder observatory is fascinating if you’ve never been!

Or, in fact, even if you have 😂

The Northumberland coastline is immensely underrated. As a foreigner living here, I don't understand why.

OK, not in England and in the Snowdonia region of Wales…..but a unique, beautiful and really interesting place is the village and gardens of Portmerion.

You can find out all about it here:

Www.Portmerion.wales

Robin Hoods Bay (my favourite place) - and they have a Victorian weekend in December

We recently spent a weekend in the Belle Tout lighthouse BnB, on the clifftop by Beachy Head. Lots of landscape!

Tuddenham Hall Hotel or Elcot Park Retreat

London calling

Western Lake District- Ravenglass, Muncaster Castle, Whitehaven, Ennerdale.

Buxton, peak district. Loads to see and do.
