Best places to visit?

Apart from Newcastle (or England in general) are there places which are rated as being a good place to visit. So far ive visited:

Newcastle-Upon-Tyne (Now living here)
Harrogate
Manchester
London
Edinburgh

Depends on what your interests are I guess!  York is a beautiful old city with lots of history.  Leeds has a nice museum and art gallery and some good restaurants.  Is it mainly cities you are interested in? 

Derby is known as the 'Dead Centre of England' so like Andee said, it depends on what you're interests are.

There's a lot of variety so, as others have said, it really depends on what you're looking for. I like the southwest - either Wales or England. But then beaches and cliffs are what do it for me.

All over.  If nothing else, get yourself a Rough Guide to Britain & start ticking off the places.

Yep, there are loads of travel books out there.

No i dont mind. Villages,locations whatever. Ive heard good stuff about Durham,must go there as im not that far away from it...

I've loved pretty much all the places I've been so far here - ALL over Yorkshire (lol!), Edinburgh, Glasgow, love rural & coastal Northumberland (have only passed through Newcastle), Durham, London, Derbyshire, Cornwall, Norwich, Bath, the Cotswolds, little bit of Wales (near Cadair Idris).  So many great places still to go!

If you want great beer, come to Yorkshire.

Brownale92, I'll have to tell you that when my English hubby was visiting me in the US before we married & I offered to get some beer for him for when he came over - I asked him if he'd like me to get him some Newcastle Brown Ale since I'd seen that available in our US grocery stores.  After laughing pretty hard at me (because I had the impression it must be some kind of special English import stuff to be in the US grocery store), he said if that's all there was - not to bother, because the NBA was bog standard average beer as far as English beer goes (maybe akin to Coors or Bud in the US - ok but I don't think the NBA is lager anyway & I'm not a beer drinker).  He was pretty amused that Americans could possibly look upon it as a luxury import item (and in retrospect, I imagine it was imported more for the British population that was living where I was located at the time).

Then he explained all about the Yorkshire beers like Black Sheep, Theakstons, Timothy Taylor, Copper Dragon, Leeds & York breweries, Cropton, etc.....  And in the end, he was more interested in US microbrewery stuff when he visited the US, rather than something he could get here at home.

So if you've only been supping on that Brown Ale, then you don't know what you're missing - lol!

I thought I saw on one of your other threads that you'd been to Corfe Castle?  Did you go anywhere else on the south coast?  UKY can be a bit north-centric (), but there's great stuff in the south too!  The former Kingdom of Wessex is chock full of history.  Glastonbury, Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Shaftesbury, Avebury, Sherbourne, Wells, Winchester, I could go on and on!

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout?!

...but there's great stuff in the south too! 

Yes, but it's just so far away!  We liked Cornwall & Bath - everywhere in the south that we've been so far.  Unless the Cotwolds counts as the south?  That was great too, especially because Tin lives there.

You really do love Yorkshire dont you?? Mind you i do too,all the yorkies ive met seem to love it too,Harrogate was beautiful!!

NBA is more of an Ale than Lager,but i do try other British beers as often as i can. I like Aspall Cider,its got a real strong apple taste and its very refreshing,i do enjoy an ice cold Strongbow once in often. Thos WKD alcopops are quite pleasant too . The US beers are not my thing really,Bud is a bit weak in my opinion. Im not a spirit drinker,so i wasnt too keen on Famous Grouse. I think the worst alcoholic drink ive ever had would have to be Fosters. My friend describes it as 'Warm Kangaroo Piss in a Can' he's not far off the truth really...

Yes, but it's just so far away! 

I hear that!  Much as I'd love to go to Yorkshire, it may as well be the moon.

Oh yes! i would love to visit Glastonbury,sounds like a unique place. I have to admit Somerset attracts my attention often. Ive heard good stuff about Taunton,Wookey Hole and the surrounding pastures,would love to visit there. I popped into Dorchester and Bearminster in Dorset while i was there,very pleasant places. The only place ive been disappointed with was Milton Keynes. Stppoed off there whilst driving from Heathrow to visit a friend. The village she lives in is very pleasant but Milton Keynes was souless in my opinion...

Harrogate was beautiful!!

Harrogate is nice & I do like it, with reservations...it's a bit overly posh for me, posh population is kinda on the blue rinse side of things, and there are certainly a lot of Americans there - lol!  Nice to visit, wouldn't want to live there.

Best of Yorkshire is the countryside - the Yorkshire Dales Nat'l Park & the North York Moors Nat'l Park, plus the North Yorkshire coast, York & Leeds.  Haven't spent time in Sheffield so can't comment on it.

York has only got positive reviews from people who have visited. Defo a good one then. Ive heard Whitby,Saltburn and Redcar were worth visiting too...
