UK bucket list

70 replies

Coruisk · 26/12/2023 19:46

What's on your bucket list of things to see and do in the UK? Not just attractions but events? Some of mine are:

Last night of the proms
Wimbledon
Stonehenge and Avebury
Houses of parliament visit
Edinburgh festival
Up Helly Aa
St Kilda visit

I've not done all of these!! Anyone else care to contribute?

Loch Coruisk in scotland?

I've just got Scarfell to tick off.

Forgot Edinburgh festival! Agreed it's special. Have done Stonehenge and would recommend, but Avebury is special in a different way - you get so close to the stones! I'd also recommend visiting the village of Imber, but you can only do it a few times a year!

PuttingDownRoots · 26/12/2023 20:01

Also want to visit Holy Island

FionnulaTheCooler · 26/12/2023 20:02

The Titanic exhibition in Belfast.

HopeAndStrength · 26/12/2023 20:02

There are puffins on Staffa, you can go on a day trip from the Isle of Mull to see them. Staffa is worth seeing in its own right too.
