Holidaying in England - Page 3

St. Ives is my favourite little holiday spot - you're guaranteed to fall in love with the place.

there is absolutely TONS to do in the Midlands if you're into history or places to visit. Warwick is nice, the castle is fab, then there is always the bits around Telford like Iron bridge and Blists Hill museums - lodas of places to go to in Shropshire, then there is the Cotswolds to name but a few areas in easy reach...

then there's London, and ive also missed off Carlisle (nice place to spend some time), Scotland (fantastic place) and North yorkshire - blimey theres loads of places to go!!!

We go to Ipswich,Suffolk twice a year.
Lovely place, the fella's Mum n Dad have a static caravan there
Loads of places for us and the kids to visit!
We also like visiting Essex, where he comes from. Only do family visiting there tho, not much else to do
Can't go wrong with places like Scarborough, Mablethorpe, Skegness, Blackpool!
Love all them places

I'm actually really excited about going away now. I read a couple of favourable comments about the Cotswolds on the Enjoy England forum. Just joined up there.

There are some amazingly beautiful places to go. Everyone's made me feel very enthusiastic! I almost feel spoilt for choice, but have to be decisive about choosing somewhere this summer fairly sharpish or I'll never hear the end of it!

I think we'll stick with a week exploring the south coast this time round as neither of us have spent much time round there. I'd really like to go to Bath too!

Lovely beaches here, Panther, but the sea is muddy on a lot of them. We stayed in a farmhouse in Brean, a really beautiful old house, and we also stayed in the area several times when we had our caravan. Hope you like it too.

Holidays in England or mainland Britain are for people who don't drink-don't smoke and like coaches.When I can get to Benidorm for £10 I'll take it every time.

Cheeky so and so! lol

I drink, don't smoke and very rarely do coaches (I prefer to drive!). I've had some great experiences exploring England as I have travelling abroad. But I'm bored of the cheap, tacky beach holidays I've been on in Spain, Greece, etc.

That's not to say I'm a little Englander who never goes abroad and enjoys myself. Quite the opposite. But since my missus is not from these shores I like to show her some of the sights, sounds (and smells when driving through the English countryside) of this country. She seems to love it!
