UK holidays

[Rage85]

Where are your favourite places to go for a holiday in the UK?

Edinburgh is a favourite of mine.

...normally the airport before I go somewhere nicer.

I'm messing about of course, some amazing places in the UK, just what you get for your money here is depressing and prefer to go further for less.

I like Northumberland and Yorkshire coast for a few days break.

Haha funny I was going to say any UK airport carpark
The holiday starts at that point

Actually planning an autumn break in Scotland as opposed to a bit of early winter sun this year.

I need to find a new cattery first though...

Currently holidaying in Cornwall. It’s a beautiful day here today!

 

[throwaway4372]

aren't all the hotels still full of migrants?

 

[Whitewater]

The Yorkshire Dales. Or Northumberland, if I didn’t already live there.

 

[adidan]

Northumberland, Yorkshire, Cumbria & the lakes, Dumfries & Galloway... Loads of nice places.

 

[Uther]

Scotland. The further north you go, the better it gets.

 

[Malevolence]

Dawlish Warren, Whitby, Lake District, Isle of Wight or Anglesey.

 

[Stretch]

North Cornwall

Cornwall and lake District are both very nice!

I started a thread back in Jan/Feb time complaining about hotel rates. Not just 1.5x the normal rates to cover national living wage, higher energy rates, inflation and current financial crisis, but I was taking 3x to 4x of the original rates!

Anyway, it's a heads up that I have stopped in a couple of hotels recently (a Premier Inn and a Britannia), and I have booked more hotels for later on this year and it the rates are starting to level off now. Not as cheap as pre-2023 but around the 1.5x mark. I can live with paying 1.5x because that is realistic, but not 3x-4x!

Anyway, I like going on city breaks for clubbing, markets and big fairgrounds / festive events e.g. Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. Nottingham, Hull, Coventry, Birimingham, Leicester, Lichfield. London's too expensive to stay overnight, so I make that a day trip as it's do-able by train from Stafford in 1h 20m.

Check the sewage map, probably better off as far away from a waterbody as possible

Lake District, don't go to that Welsh town that were not allowed to name anymore.

 

[Mint8]

Heathrow...or Gatwick


but failing that - Cornwall.

 

[Tykey]

Lake District, don't go to that Welsh town that were not allowed to name anymore.

Which one? Rhyl? Lived there for a few years until 2017, lived in a nice area & quite liked it. My mum still has a caravan in Prestatyn. She could get £600 per week hiring it out but doesn't bother, £600 could get you to a lot of places (or used to be able to).

North Cornwall

Off there next month, been south loads but never north any must places to go ?

 

[200sols]

Anywhere really, do a lot of walking in the UK and once you get out of the towns it really is lovely. Same abroad tbh, can't stand the cities.
