if i had 3 weeks all to myself i would get a back pack and a tent ,and just start walking ,and see some life and then at the end get the train home.

Re: places to visit in england

Re: places to visit in england
 

Do you want theme parks or a relaxing break or do you want to visit historic places or take in the views, is this a holiday alone or with a friend/s.

Re: places to visit in england
 

im going by myself i want to visit historice places and where there are places to walk with sight seeing

Re: places to visit in england
 

Well you're just a stone's throw from the lake district and the yorkshire dales. Very good for walking. York is nice as well by the way.

Re: places to visit in england
 

If you have 3 weeks off I'd head to the Dales. As you wouldn't be in a rush you will enjoy just exploring places and the little inbetween bits rather than having a military operation planned. I will recommend Malham though ;) and Wharfdale.

I would say get yourself up to The Yorkshire Dales also. Then get on the Settle and Carlise railway line, and then go up to Cumbria, stunning scenery, amazing hills, The Eden Valley is the most wonderful undiscovered area of Britain, as most head up to The Lakes instead, accomodation tends to be cheaper too.
You dont say when you are going, but The Appleby Horse Fair is always held in June, if thats your sort of thing.
Then up to scotland, and that world will be your oyster!

Three whole weeks, fantastic, you have a great time now!!

You could walk the length of Hadrians wall and also visit the many historic sites on the route.

London. Unless you have been there too much already?

It has a host of historical and important locations, easy to get too, and you can spend days there looking at all the locations, museums and shops!

Harpurhey Manchester!!

ive never been to london

Re: places to visit in england
 

The big plus is much of it is easily to access on foot, for everything else you have the Tube.

Re: places to visit in england
 

Then I could not recommend another place that you must go too! :D The places people have suggested are good, and often overlooked, places but I do think a first visit to London would trump them all.

One of the greatest cities in the World, and rich in History! Think of all that's happened there! It was at one point the centre of the empire! Not to mention some of the famous residents and events!

Here are some of the places you could visit (I spilt them up into the locations which are near each other):

• Tower of London
• London Bridge
• St Paul's Cathedral
• The London Eye
• Big Ben and Houses of Parliament
• Buckingham Palace
• Convent Garden, Leicester Square/Oxford Street/Regent Street
• Hyde Park

• The British Museum, The Science Museum/Natural History Museum and the Imperial War Museum to name a few of the museums which are good.

To name but a few of the ones I can think of right now. There is also a lot of areas which are just nice like Chelsea and South Kensington. The Tube will take you out to other places if you are so inclined such as Greenwich (which has the Observatory and the Greenwich Meridian Line). Although I would recommend the river boat from Westminster and along the Thames.

It's the capital of your country :) People travel from around the world to see it because it's arguably the most famous city in the world. It is the most visited. Your a train ride away and you have never seen it? Seems a really obvious choice :)
