I'm from South Wales so have done a lot of the West side of the UK plus Scotland and Ireland but never anything over the East Side. No use why

I'm planning a tour of all the places Mumsnet rates very low - starting with Wigan. I'm from Dublin (also disliked on Mumsnet) and I want to find out what these other unpopular places are actually like.

The west coast of wales. The Hebrides or Shetland Islands.

Northumberland

Cornwall I've never been more south than London. Dh is from the Highlands so we've been up there a lot but still bits I'd like to see, we used to go and stay with the in laws during the 6 week hols so didn't have to pay for accommodation so it was an affordable break for us,now they've passed away it would be a lot more expensive. Mil was from Orkney so would love to visit there after hearing lots about it.
Would also like to go to Dublin

York, only visited briefly, such a lot of history.

York is lovely. Not too far from me 🙂

Kent

What's Northumberland like? I'm interested in visiting it!

Lovely! Lots of nice scenery, castles (Bamburgh Castle is amazing) and just a world away from the south!

KingsCrossStPancras · 14/10/2023 18:47

North Yorkshire is lovely, and the Yorkshire Dales!

Azaeleasinbloom · 14/10/2023 18:50

Northumberland. North Wales. Maybe Brighton area?

Jewelspun · 14/10/2023 18:52

We have done most of England and Wales and some parts of Scotland, and would like to see more of the Moray Coast.

The Lake District and Scotland. I’m really put off by the thought of mozzies though.

Laughing at the whole of Scotland being on the list. Cumbernauld is rather different to Portree.

Can confirm in 45 years of living in Scotland I've never once seen a mosquito.
Midges? Aye. Mozzies? Never.
Midges are not scary though so you'd be fine. C'mon up! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

One was in my van the other day in the Highlands. Definitely not uncommon to see them up here.

OldTinHat · 14/10/2023 19:08

Another one for Scotland - just full stop anywhere!

MadeFrom100percentPears · 14/10/2023 19:09

The Forrest of Dean. Saw it in the Harry Potter movies and fancied it ever since!

Redlarge · 14/10/2023 19:25

Scotland

bluesatin · 14/10/2023 19:26

I'd like to do a few more cities and big towns. For instance I have never been to Leeds, Sheffield, Doncaster, Hereford, Glasgow, Cambridge, Lincoln, Ipswich... Dd spent a few days in Hull a couple of years back and said it was really interesting.
I crossed Buckingham, Carlisle and Liverpool off my list fairly recently, but most of the places I have been to need a lot more time than I have been able to commit.

BinkyBeaufort · 14/10/2023 21:37

Islands: Channel, Shetland, Scilly

ProvisionsOnTheDock · 14/10/2023 21:41

Northern Ireland, and the Peak District. I live in Scotland so have seen a lot of my own country. I'd also love to go back to Wales.

ShoesoftheWorld · 14/10/2023 21:46

Lindisfarne
The Scottish islands
Liverpool - been twice briefly but didn't see enough
The Norfolk Broads
Wales

Lavenderosa · 14/10/2023 21:49

Titanic Belfast
Bamburgh Castle
Chatsworth House
Shetland & Orkney Isles
York

Cornwall.

We are in Highland Perthshire and it is so far away.

BeyondMyWits · 14/10/2023 21:52

Never been further South East than Hemel Hempstead... is there anything past there? 🤣

Changes17 · 14/10/2023 21:57

I’d like to visit Scottish islands, Scilly Isles, the Norfolk Broads/Norwich. Ely.
