Anyone familiar with Yorkshire

Too late now as you have booked elsewhere, but personally I love Filey - it's quiet but the beach is lovely, we love it anyway. Scarborough used to be the place to go but I feel it has run down in recent years, not like it used to be.

Everywhere in the UK depends on sunshine and good weather - we adore Northumberland but we had to abandon it this weekend thanks to the incessant rain

Thanks Gal. That’s handy to know for another time. I like quiet. We stayed in Alnwick a few years ago and went to Bambrough which was lovely

Sorry you had to abandon ship, well caravan

The beach at Beadnell is also beautiful MM. We love Northumberland.

Wonderful Shell, I'm sure you'll love Scotland. I know you don't like busy places but would you give Edinburgh a chance as you won't be that far away? It's a beautiful place to see and so interesting too.

I have cousins in Perth and I'm told that there's a lot of beautiful countryside in that area too, and again it's not far from you.

Hi Jo, we went to Edinburgh for the day when we stayed in Alnwick we went by train. I did like the history of the city but I found it a bit dark and depressing with a lot of homeless people about, and the odd dodgy deal going on in doorways which I hate to see. People wandering up to the homeless chap, handing over some money and walking away with a wrap of something, it just felt a bit seedy. The other place that was very like that was Bath

The countryside around the area looks beautiful I am looking forward to it

Shell, I love Bath! Mick and I had a great weekend there, about 8 or 9 years ago Fab museums, and the Roman Baths - wonderful!

[miasmum]

I like that side of it too Kaz, I just dont like the undercurrent of a lot of cities

Happens all over the world MM iv never been any where that's been a disastrous I love York Liverpool waterfront and adore Amsterdam and the Rhine had brilliant holidays there

[miasmum]

It’s lovely that you’ve seen and enjoyed so many places Saundra. You have wonderful memories

It’s not the places it’s me wish I was braver

Our disaster was Brixham. Rained constantly and £90 in parking fines

[saundra]
