What are your fave UK cities to visit?

[Sodthesystem]

I'm UK grounded for the foreseeable future waiting on a minor operation so figured I'd maybe take a few uk city breaks :) solo probably.

I love pretty architecture.

Plenty of free time and no mobility issues.

I love London. I've technically done most Scottish cities. And Bristol. But happy to hear about everyones experiences.

York is lovely to visit

The market towns of North Yorkshire and Northumberland too

York, Lincoln, Durham & Helmsley are my favourites

Without a shadow of a doubt

London

in your shoes, return to London and just explore a different area

Its got to be York every time for me, lovely architecture, great shopping & lots to do and the people are lovely. We go every year and love it. Bath is a also lovely 😊

I like York (but as we live 2 miles away from the centre it’s nice and easy to visit 😃)

i think Harrogate is lovely, probably nicer than York as it’s less crowded

Cheltenham

Bath

A random one is Darlington

York, Bath, Durham, Salisbury, Winchester, Wells.

York
Edinburgh
Cambridge
Oxford

York
Bath
Canterbury
Exeter
Norwich
Cambridge
Bristol
Warwick/Stratford-upon-Avon/Shakespeare country

I’m Irish and love Liverpool and Lincoln but London is one of my most favourite places on Earth.

Chester

Chester, Bath, Harrogate, York, Alnwick (for gardens and Barter Books) London

Edited to add - Cardiff, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Beaumaris on Anglesey because I belatedly realised you didn’t say England

Liverpool is great. I also like Manchester.

Liverpool is fun, Yorkshire has some lovely towns and villages as well as York. Avoid Bath until October, it’s overrun with coach tours mostly American, Chinese and Japanese.

York, Harrogate, Manchester, Cardiff, Leeds, Oxford. Many more

Bath, York, Haworth (village in case you’re like me a big Brontë fan!), Edinburgh, Bristol is worth a look in on way to Bath, Liverpool, Durham. These are the only ones I’ve been to and s can recommend 🙂

There is a lot to do in Manchester, when my uncle moved there and I first went to visit, it surprised me.

Bath was always on the to-do list but I never had time with the Bristol visit.

York coming up lots it seems.

What does everyone suggest seeing/doing in the places they are recommending?

Chester
Portmerion
Castles
Secret bunkers
National Trust or English Heritage properties (free voucher in some newspapers now)
Norfolk Broads
Lavenham

Brighton, there is another side other than the pier and the hen dos

Definitely York. Lots of places to explore, especially the city walls. Also do an open top bus tour and a river boat cruise. The van gogh exhibition is really good too if you like art

Wells - both the cathedral and the Bishops' Palace, as well as an amble around the city
Cambridge - lots of museums, punting, pubs, green spaces, evensong at one of the colleges

We recently spent a few days in Exeter and loved it. Gorgeous cathedral, lots of beautiful old and interesting buildings in the centre, easy to walk around, easy to get to. The Royal Albert Memorial Museum was good (and free). We particularly liked St Nicholas Priory, the oldest building in Exeter, which is only open on certain days. The Quayside area is very attractive and there are good walks south of there by the river and the canal. Topsham nearby is very attractive.

Cambridge
Windsor

Bury St Edmonds may not be a city but it has plenty to do for a day or two - history with the abbey, new shopping centre, lots of restaurants, lovely park areas.

I also like York but it always seems to be busy. Harrogate is lovely - very naice shops, cafes and restaurants.

Or for something different, hay on wye for book browsing or glastonbury for stocking up on crystals!
