I'm going to England to visit family and "be a tourist" for about a week early (March-April) next year. I've been before, but am taking my g/f who has never been out of the U.S. Seeing castles and the rich history is probably a must, but I've only got a week. Any suggestions? Willing to use trains and hostels...

robtheman-I've been there and seen it with my brother backpacking last year. I took a picture with him posing under the street sign, which seemed very appropriate, especially where he was standing.

Go to Bath. There is a neat street sign that sits at the corner of Gay Street and Queen Square. You'll know it when you see it.

You will probably fly into London, so I would definitely take the train up to Oxford for a couple of days. Wonderful and beautiful city. If you can get to it, there is a lovely hostel in Wales on Snowdon. I also really loved the southwest corner of England -- I bought a historical sites pass and visited many beautiful and interesting places. But I did have a car! However, you can see all of Oxford on foot, and the train is quite convenient.

You say England! I live in Wales - now that's loaded with History and the Castles are something else!! Do try and pop over the Welsh border, if only for a couple of days, and we'll make it worth the effort.

I highly recommend a visit to Shropshire, it is one of the best counties in the whole of the UK... beautiful scenery,castles, manor houses, a whole world of history! and many other attractions too. also including a town called 'Ludlow' which has recently been voted as a fine food capital of Great Britain. Ceratinly worth a look!

Manchester is extra decrease priced than London. London is an rather high priced place. 2 human beings spent almost £2 hundred on a holiday there final summer season and we didnt even pass determining to purchase! as for something of the time it relies upon what you propose to do. Manchester has some severe high quality determining to purchase aspects so in case you % to save u % money for that. a holiday to the sea-area ought to value something between £20-£one hundred based which motel you pass to in case you in simple terms % to look on the country area and stately homes then it is going to likely be extremely decrease priced... yet london is expensive

We liked Cornwall down on the tip of the country - beautiful scenery and good Cornish food.
Plus it's warmer down there.
