Haha this won't take long. Born and bred in Guildford, Surrey. Still in Surrey.
I've never been further North than Alton Towers, never been to Scotland Wales or Ireland. Been West to Cornwall.
Never holidayed outside of Europe. Furthest East was Corfu and South the Canaries.

I suppose it's just that I've never had a reason or occasion to visit anywhere else in the UK and could never afford holidays outside of Europe.
