Hi ButtonMoon....I live in England, would I be right in thinking you are coming over for the history and sight seeing? Stratford upon Avon is nice, Shakespeares birthplace, quite a bit to see and do. York is a fantastic old city - with city walls and steeped in history - as is Chester. Bath is another nice spot. I love Edinburgh, so I know its Scotland rather than England, but its a lovely city. Fortunately I live in Derbyshire. We've got the spa waters of Buxton, the historical houses around Bakewell and of course, because we're central, you can get to anywhere else in England easily.

I've been to London and Stratford on Avon. London, the people were rather cold and because I traveled alone they treated me like a terrorist on the London Eye. I also took in the Ripper tour that took me to actual places that Jack the Ripper did his awful deeds and where the bodies were found. I saw Madame Tussaud's wax museum and the London Dungeon which really was a hoot.
Stratford on Avon had awesome stores that were named after the Shakespeare plays. There is this awesome shop called Ginger Jar that has tarrot readings. I ate at the AS YOU LIKE IT cafe. Very good food there. I went to Shakespeare's birthplace and learned a lot about the man. I also took a bus tour there around the town.

Love the oceans all 'round Cornwall. Miss the endless golden sand of Northumbria. Will never forget the views from the hills in Cumbria. Had fun exploring Chesil Beach in Dorset. Liked the theatre in Bath and Stratford-Upon-Avon. Enjoyed meeting the seals off the coast of Norfolk. Loved the nightlife in Bournemouth and Poole.

If you are fussy about having good weather you should stick to the south/south east of England. If you are more adventurous try Yorkshire, Lake District, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset. Yorkshire is a very friendly county. Cornwall/Devon/Dorset can be costly but stunning countryside.

Peak District has some beautiful villages and countryside, and one or two wonderful pubs also! Such a pity the public transport is poor.

Lake District great for walking the hills..... Isle of Skye - very remote - but pretty pricy
Cornwall - wonderful for the coast line and the eden centre
