Judging from the threads on this subforum, quite a lot of people here are well travelled abroad - so I think it would be interesting to see how much of our own countries we've seen!

Don't include counties/regions/cities which you've literally only passed through, without stopping anywhere except for a train/ bus station or some motorway services.

For my own country, the UK;

- Not been to Northern Ireland at all.
- Haven't been north of Inverness in Scotland, but I have been to Edinburgh, Cairngorms National Park, Loch Ness, Fort William & Ben Nevis, the Isles of Mull and Iona, and Loch Lomond.
- Have been to the majority of the counties/regions in England (Merseyside and Northumberland are two of the ones I haven't been to). Despite this, there are a few major cities I haven't been to yet at all; Birmingham, York, Bristol, Sheffield, Newcastle on Tyne, Leeds and Liverpool.
- Have been to quite a few places in the southern half of Wales (Swansea, Cardiff, Gower Peninsula, Pembrokeshire, Aberystwyth area, Brecon Beacons) but in northern Wales I've only been to Snowdonia.

So what about you guys - and what places haven't you been to yet, but you'd like to visit in the future? On my list would go the big cities in England that I mentioned above, plus the Scilly Isles, camping on Lundy Island, the rest of the Inner & Outer Hebrides, the northern Highlands, Glasgow, Northumberland National Park, Anglesey and the Lleyn Peninsula. Oh, and Chester, Ludlow and Shrewsbury, simply because I've heard they're so lovely and historical

I've visited everywhere in England and Wales that has a HSBC ATM.

Was doing an audit and compliance monitoring of them.

Never been to Scotland or Northern Ireland .

[Pi!]

The only cities I've been to in the UK that I can remember are London, Sheffield, Nottingham, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Manchester, Leicester, Cambridge and Birmingham.

I've only been to Scotland a couple of times, Wales only once and I've never been to Northern Ireland.

Not very at all, but that'll probably change a lot this year with my friends going to unis all over the UK The best place I've traveled so far has been in Scotland (if the counts), such a gorgeous country!

[kerily]

I've never been to Northern Ireland, the Isle of Wight, the Isle of Man, the Outer Hebrides (excluding Skye - but I'd like to go to Lewis someday), the Orkney or Shetland Islands, or most of Wales.

Aside from that, I'm quite well-travelled. I've been to the vast majority of mainland Scotland and the Inner Hebrides, been all over northeast England because I live here, been across to the northwest (Manchester and Liverpool) and been up out Cumbria way as a kid, been into the centre, been to London a lot, been to the southwest/Cornwall/Devon etc, and been to some of the Home Counties. The southeast and the southmiddle (I have no idea what this is called The bit sort of in the middle horizontally, but just above the coast) are a bit of an unvisited spot, but I don't feel the urge to remedy this, either.

Not very at all. I've been to shamefully little places.

Never even been to London.

What seriously? That must be an endless list?

[Deathly_Hallows]

I have been to 7/32 countries. I've been to Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Kildare, Carlow, Meath, Westmeath. That is shocking. I need to see more of my own country.

[Hylean]

Northern Ireland: Been all over, as I'm from there.

Ireland: Used to holiday all over as my dad is a fisherman.

In Britain: I've been to Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland; Cardiff in Wales; lived in London and been to Southampton and Cambridge.

[InnerTemple]

Never been to Scotland, Wales or any of Ireland.

Been all over England though - Through pretty much every county. I have visited many a place in England:

Newcastle, York, Bridlington, Blackpool, Bradford, Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Wakefield, Chesterfield, Uttoxeter, Rugeley, Sutton Coldfield, Coventry, Birmingham, Spalding, Bedford, St Albans, London, Brigton, Bournmouth, Dawlish, Exeter, Truro, Penryn, Falmouth... and most of Essex.

There are more that I can't think of. All the above places have been visited within the last three years. I plan to go to Scotland next year.

[manic_fuzz]

I've barely been anywhere. I've never been abroad

And in the UK I've only been to (for a long period of time, rather than just travelling through) Bedfordshire, Cornwall, Devon, Southern Wales, London, Derby, Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Halifax...

I would travel around so much more if the train station was less than 2 hours away

[ExcessNeo]

I'd like to think I am fairly well traveled in England, I've been to places in Devon and Cornwall, plenty of times to London, a few places in the midlands, some places up north and to Aberdeen in Scotland. I have yet to set foot in Wales or Ireland however. As my dad has worked as a train conductor/driver all my life visiting various places in the country has never exactly been an issue as I can travel for free if there is a train station near enough.

Oh, you know me, I'm from the wrong side of the tracks and all that. Lima kids rarely see New York City. Some will go to college, maybe, 2 of them will leave the state to do it.

[LaughingBro]

Do you mean the country I was born in or the country I should have been born in?

[Manitude]

Been to Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire (I forget exactly which bit, but I've been to york and the most western part just north of lancashire), Cumbria, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Cornwall, Devon, Kent, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Gloucester, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Isle Of Wight, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Hampshire, Warwickshire, Wirral (if you count that as a county, it's part of Cheshire really) Worcestershire

Those are the ones I can remember within England.
In Wales:
Wrexham
Powys
Anglesey
Gwynedd

I've only been to scotland once, but I don't recall where.

[HumiT]

I've been to London, Leicester, Walsall, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Wombourne, Sheffield, Newcastle-upon-tyne, Filey, York, Birmingham, Swansea, Derby, Matlock, Mablethorpe, Skegness, Dover, Bradford, Keighley, Chapel St Leonards, Sketty and Hunstanton

I'm sure you'll manage, somehow.

Remember you don't only have to mention towns/ cities, you can mention National Parks and other places as well

As I said in my OP, I haven't been to quite a few of the big cities in England. However, I have been to a lot of smaller cities/ towns (eg. Canterbury, Oxford, Durham, Lancaster, Brighton, Norwich, Totnes etc.), and National Parks like the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, Peak District, the Norfolk Broads, the Cotswolds, and Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor which I know aren't actually National Parks but are still great places to visit.
