Where would you go for a weekend away in the UK?

[GhibliCat]

Winter time. Mid November?

York

Whitby but I like seaside places in the winter.

Chester, York or Harrogate

The new Forest

Cotswolds,
Northumberland,
Norfolk

Lots to do in Liverpool.

North Wales or Edinburgh (xmas market)

Northumberland every time

Where do you live and how far do you want to travel ?

York, will advocate for Liverpool though as an adopted scouser

York or Edinburgh

York
Edinburgh

Sorry that would be helpful wouldn't it.
I'm in Manchester and maybe 3 hours by train?

Adult only or travelling with children?

If I didn't work there, York.
Since I do, coastal Northumberland.

Bath, Cardiff or Oxford.

Depends what vibe you like. I'm a big fan of Liverpool but possibly less so at that time of year. I'd pick an area of London, maybe Richmond.

What do you like doing? City or country? Walks on winter beaches or museums, country pubs or cocktail bars?

Derbyshire. Peak district is easily accessible by train from Manchester.
Or Sheffield

another one for new forest and have a slap up lunch at the Limewood hotel. Expensive but unforgettable!!

York, Cambridge and I would say Liverpool but seen you’re in Manchester so I’ll add Edinburgh to the list instead.

A luxury lodge with a hot tub. Mid November is a shit time though. Fireworks done and too early for Christmas markets.

York,
Liverpool,
London,
Lake District.

Came to say Durham for the lumiere light festival but having googled I see it's their 'off' year so assuming you mean this November, I vote for York.

It'd depend on the weather. November can be fine walking weather or dire.

For cities, there's lots mentioned already, some like Chester and Liverpool are day trip from Manchester so I'd go a bit further afield. I'll add Bristol to the list.
