alexxxxx Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 London and Manchester for me. Liverpools nice for a day trip. Bristol seems alright. Think we do countryside a bit better than cities outside of the big main ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Sheffield Perth Newcastle Peterborough, which was a nice surprise given that I started my day there furious about having to waste a days holiday going to the passport office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Glasgow is perfect for a city break imo. Plenty to do in the city plus you can be out pretty quickly to Loch Lomond. Edinburgh is ok but I’ve only been during the festival times. Glasgow probably pips it because it seems a lot friendlier. Sheffield is great to live in, but like @Coneheadjohnim somewhat biased. Leeds and Nottingham I feel are similar, in that I like them but I don’t think they were as good as they were 10 years ago. Added to the fact that I’ve always found them a bit intense especially on a Friday/Saturday night. Neither really have that quiet pub in town that you can get away from the stag and hen dos if you need to. It’s another plus for Sheffield that the party people tend to have a couple of streets where everything is leaving us pale ale sippers in peace in The Bath Hotel or Red Deer. Derby is very under rated in terms of a night out and its heritage. Just needs a bit of a revamp like most places do Want to go to Newcastle again.

2tups Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Love most of the northern cities, the history alone warrants a visit. Though Edinburgh and Glasgow will always be favourites (even though most folk can’t handle both). Middlesbrough and Sunderland…well, there’s nice bits nearby. Derby still has loads of fond memories and is nowhere near as crap as some would like to make out and I’ve time for the East Midland cities. The West Midlands I struggle with. London’s the curate’s egg for me. For a weekend in a neighbourhood, why not, just could do with some ear muffs some times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 London. I'd hate to live and work there, but somewhere to visit that has many and varied places to see during the day and to eat and drink at night, our capital city can't be beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No particular order and feel free to include your own place of residence. For me: Birmingham Bristol Brighton Sheffield Nottingham (I'm aware that choice may upset some of you..) I was in my teens when I noticed a preponderance of feminine beauty in Nottingham! Years later I heard a poem which ended with the lines... "Nottingham for pretty girls And Burton for fine ale!" Maybe the Trent has a lot to answer for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Liverpool is superb for a weekend. Great museums, nightlife, ferry 'cross the mersey', stroll along the prom to New Brighton..... London to visit the places you never had time for on the last visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
