There's a lot of cities I haven't visited yet, so I'm planning to go round them this spring before all the tourists hit
What are the nicest places/cities to go to? Also, is it weird to travel solo if you're from here? I've pretty much only been to the places friends/family are from
Don't listen to those who say 'it's all **** here' - I'm lucky enough to have had spent considerable time in the remote areas of Iceland and Canada [and a holiday to greenland], and those areas match up without question!

Yes, the British countryside is quite something! Gotta get my hiking boots on
Not London (if you want a true British scene, since It's like comparing Paris and France). I'd recommend the historical cities/towns that haven't been bombed (eg York, Bath, Harrogate, Buxton, Durham, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, etc) and Newcastle.

Cities (baring London): Bath, Cambridge, Edinburgh, York. Countryside- Cornwall, the Cotswolds (towns in Gloucestershire & Oxfordshire e.g. Stow on the Wold), Scottish Highlands, Lake District, Yorkshire Moors, Isle of Wight (although as I discovered last summer most tourist attractions are aimed at little kids)
London, Oxford or Cambridge (2 incredibly beautiful university towns), York, Keswick (the lake district - v beautiful) Newcastle, Durham, Beadnell, Gretna Green, Edinburgh, Creiff/Comrie or Aberfeldy, Aviemore, Fort Augustus (loch ness), Inverness (short stay will suffice , Findhorn (most beautiful place ive ever been), Randolph's Leap, Bonar Bridge, John O'Groats, Orkney and Shetland (never been but supposedly beautiful)
Hope this helps. Having been a reasonably well travelled Brit myself - been to Asia, Africa, US and many European countries - Scotland is one of the most beautiful places ive ever been
I agree with the people here with York,Edinghburgh, Newcastle, Bath etc. But I have to say Bristol is a really nice city as well - plently of nightlife, shopping, restaurants and museums.
