To ask for your favourite places in the uk (without making you miss them even more right now!)

[Funsize123]

Probably a crazy idea but planning for the long term that when this is all over and we are back to normal we are hoping to do a tour of the UK with our children. We’ve spent a lot of time in Cornwall and Dorset but want our children to see more of the lovely country that we live in.
Can I have some tips for some great places to visit and perhaps some hidden gems! Anywhere in the UK!

I live in York might have a little pootle along the riverside And into town on my bike tomorrow, it only takes 15 minutes

AudaCity haha do you mean you;;l behugging people and buildings?
I've been planning to go to Liverpool this Easter which of course didn't happen, but will do as soon as poss, so could you advise on where to go on a day trip to feel the atmosphere as you describe, not just do the obvious docks area tourist thing?

*you'll be hugging (argh)

Snowdonia
Isle of Skye
Padstow
The Isle of Anglesey
Gower Peninsula
Northumberland

Aviemore, Cove, Edinburgh, the outer Hebrides - Many fond family memories in these places.

The western isles beat everywhere else.

The Lakes

Great city break destinations: Liverpool, Chester, York, Leeds, Bristol etc

Loads of amazing places to visit in the UK, no need to go abroad

CatAndHisKit I go to Liverpool regularly as my firm has an office there so know the city fairly well.

Go to the Baltic Triangle, it's the old Cain's brewery site converted into a food market. It's amazing, they change the stall holders regularly so there's always something new to try. Opposite is the Red Brick vintage warehouse which is good to have a nose around. It's about a 10 min taxi ride from Liverpool One & the docks.

Durham Cathedral.

North Wales coastal towns
Snowdonia
Betws-y-Coed and Beddgellert

The Lake District

The Peak District

Cities for culture, heritage and nightlife: Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle and Leeds.

Orkney and Lewis

Stratford-Upon-Avon

Quaint and underexplored: Bewdley, Kinver and Axebridge.

Sorry should have said, we live near london now so our children have been there lots of times :) We usually pop in on a Sunday for a potter. We are missing that!

Northumberland coast (can see I'm not alone there)
Hengistbury Head on the south coast
The Gower
Greenwich

Definitely the Gower, particularly a little bay called Mewslade.
Also North Devon, again one particular beach called Rockham Bay which has many happy childhood memories for me.

Silverdale
Lake District
North Wales

We can get to all in an hour to 2 hours and I miss them

I live 15 minutes from Liverpool city centre. I'm a Scouser born and bred. Isn't it funny how we all live where everyone else wants to visit! I do love Liverpool myself though.

Robins Hoods bay. We camp at a beautiful place within walking distance and it’s the place that Iv been to heal after burnout from work. Everything about the campsite, the bay itself, I know it’s cheesy as hell but I literally feel healed and peaceful there. I’m not spiritual or anything like that but that place and the routine I have when I go there just grounds me.

I feel such a longing for it.

Northumberland - it’s all so beautifully quiet and unspoilt.

Mersea island, its so beautiful, I have plans to retire there.

Liverpool is such a fun city. That’s my first Saturday trip.
I grew up in the Cairngorms and I’m biased but they are stunning
The north lakes

A little village nearby (Marlborough) which has a beautiful little tea room that my grandparents used to visit. They died when I was younger. It’s a special place to me and I’m looking forward to visiting when we can.

Bbq1 I also miss potters resort- we should have been there next week for our whole family annual get together.

It's our happy place can't wait to go back

Could I be cheeky and ask which campsite you stay at? X

Isle of wight.
London.
Lake district.
Edinburgh.

Ullswater, Lake District. Simply the most beautiful place on earth

Jersey. Supposed to be going in the half term. Hopefully next year instead. We got cadw pass for Welsh castles etc just before the lock down, so looking forward to using that.
