Cardiff bay area was good for a weekend away, York is always good or Cambridge/Oxford (they feel very similar)

How about the Cotswolds for the weekend? Plenty of lovely villages, farm shops, hikes, pubs, independent shops... Plus Oxford and Blenheim Palace along the way.

For day trips, Bath, Oxford, Cambridge and Canterbury are all easy to get to from London. A bit further but still doable in a day probably, are places like Warwick (also has a fantastic castle), Stratford-upon-Avon (if you like Shakespeare) or Nottingham which are all very historical places.

Longer away so needs more time are Liverpool, Manchester and Edinburgh which are all great with lots of history.

Flight wise, pretty much any city anywhere in Europe would fit the bill. I’d recommend Belfast, Dublin and Budapest but the real list is so so long!

I would also recommend Bath. If you’re there for longer than a day, a drive out to Bradford on Avon for a cream tea at the Bridge Tea Rooms is lovely, or Bristol harbourside if museums and little food popups are more your thing.

Thanks for these! Nottingham is somewhere I’ve not done at all or even thought of. The rest, especially Bath, I’ve not been to for ages, so worth a new visit. Nottingham top of the list I think (hello trams!)

If you’re into gaming at all, the National Videogame Museum in Nottingham was worth the trip - we went when it was fairly new so I’d imagine it’s been expanded a bit since.

That is totally relevant to my interests!

I think that it has moved to Sheffield now

Ah see I’ve been to the Sheffield one, so I thought I had missed something!

Manchester is only 2 hours on the train, if it didn’t cost £200 that’s easily day trip territory.

That’s really good point! It’s often cheaper to fly to Europe than get a train here…
