Sitting outside last evening having a glass of wine and watching the Utd / L'pool game we were reminiscing about family holidays  and the places we liked the best.

Our Top 3 (in no particular order) 

  • Edinburgh - was our last mini break before migrating and the kids loved it., 
  • Cornwall
  • New Forrest .

Interested to know your Top 3

Oh this is a hard one Ali.  So many to choose from.

The whole of Dorset - love the seaside towns of Swanage and Lyme Regis

Southwold in Suffolk

Agree about Edinburgh - smashing city

Central London - so much energy, history and sense of vitality in one place. Many great memories from working there for 10 years pre-Australia.

Kent coast - Whitstable, Broadstairs, Herne Bay - beautiful pebble beaches, perfect for dog-walking and sneaking in a quiet pint on a Sunday afternoon!

Gower Peninsula - dramatic, rugged views. Awesome.

That's 3, could have listed many more though. :)

sooooo many to choose from.

For the scenery: Cotswolds, Lake district, devon/cornwall.

Beaches: Cornwall and devon.

Quirky seaside towns: Brighton, Whitstable.

Historic: Canterbury, Rochester, Rye, York.

London: the canals, the little hidden pubs off the tourist trail, the architecture, the bridges, the parks, the stately homes, the pomp and ceremony, the london villages, the community spirit, the authenticity........

If it is a strict rule I’d go for Snowdonia, Chester and Cotswolds ?

They were the last time I was there! That was 13 years ago nearly now though. Used to take my son there every week on my day off in the summer. Have some great pictures of him jumping around in the sea there. Great sand for sandcastle building. Happy days. ?

Devon and Cornwall have some lovely places where we spent many family holidays and long weekends as iwas growing up. Top of my list would be Abersoch, lovely village, lovely beaches and lovely people.
