Good places to visit in the UK for day-trips or weekends

[w00tman]

Evening all.

Given that I have the double joys of having my living room remodelled and buying my eldest a car this year, we're staying in the UK for holidays.

This then developed into a conversation around places to visit - either for a day trip or for a couple of days. Anything considers - theme parks to theatre, culture anything really.

We've visited quite a few places but always looking for something new that isn't cack - something that can sustain a day out. Any suggestions?

Join national trust. There are some amazing places to visit. One of my current favourites is Kedleston Hall.

Depends what you like...

North Norfolk coast is nice. Snetterton has the BTCC in July.
Yorkshire dales has a lot to offer, you could mix walks, pubs with some nice cities (e.g. York) and a hill climb at Harewood.
Northumberland is pretty and more open, some stunning roads.
Dorset is a step back in time

Isn't it going to partly depend on where you live if you want Day trip ideas for yourself..........

Seconded - Snowdonia. I live about a mile from Portmeirion, and if you haven’t been you should go - simples. Then there’s the amazing roads with no traffic, the landscape, and of course the unique narrow gauge steam railways.

See you soon

I'd either go to Cornwall or the Highlands of Scotland. Both are brilliant.

I spent the Bank Holiday weekend staying just outside of Bala. We visited Portmeirion, Harlech Castle, Barmouth, Lake Vrynwy etc. Covered about 500 Miles in a little eco boost Fiesta - that thing absolutely shone on the welsh roads - the scenery was incredible.

Fell in love with the place.
