Love the cotswolds .have stayed lower slaughter .& Bourton -on -the -water .Willersey .havent been for a few yrs .it did get busy especialy Bourton ,there is a priory at minster loval & there was the Black Swan pub & Restaurant. not far from Witney .Barbra x

beaumaris is aout 11m away from me and rhosneigr is about 6miles .and we have the lovely trearddur bay,about two miles away and where my daughter is getting married in aug this year. lots of lovely places to visit in summer,but dont come here in winter because its horrible.x :-D :-D

anninglos I am in south near Cirencester so close enough to Stow in the wold, Bourton on the water and just a short distance to Cotswold wildlife park a place I would definately recommend to anyone visiting. I'll be going to York in June( for dolls house fair) and this is another place I'd advise people to visit

Sharron as a child I stayed on uncle's farm at Craven Arms - small world.

Muncaster Castle was shown on Michael Portillo's "Great British Railway Journey" show this week. It looked absolutely stunning and well worth a visit.

Mersey love Muncaster castle at rhododendron time. Love the owl centre too.

Suzanne, definitely a warmer weather destination lol, I have been there once lol when I was about 9 on a school trip to Beumaris :-) but family used to go there many many years ago, to Rhosneigr I think?

come to anglesey rose. :-D

Thankyou for all the suggestions :-D

I'm playing with the idea of Oxford, though maybe when the weather is more settled, I visited it about 30 years ago and would love to go back. It's quite direct from here and the youth hostel looks good right by the station so that's a possible for an overnight stay at least.

Gwynne, I'll have a look at your photo's :-D

Small world!

We went to Bliths Hill and Ironbridge today, Rose. (Pics on FB)

We had a lovely day and will be going back to do some of the other museums.

We'll be snowdrop hunting next month.

We're lucky. Live in South Yorks so the Yorks Dales, Lincs Wolds, North Yorks Moors in easy reach by car. We like the East coast - Staithes, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay etc etc. Sometimes visit the Lake District tho thats about a 3 hour run and at least 320 miles round trip. Cleethorpes in N lincs only about 55 minutes away. We also belong to the National Trust and often visit some of their places

Land of Lost Content in Craven Arms.

It is brilliant and most of my home and clothing features somewhere in it.

We have to have days out because I need to be here at night.but we do have cars to go out.
Have you thought of coach trip?.I love them. It is good to let somebody else find the way and do the driving.

Some of the travelodges have some pretty good deals. You have to remember that there is a breakfast usually included in the price so it is one you won't have to pay for at home.If you can manage to eat enough of it you can save the price of a lunch too!

A lovley place to go is Muncaster Castle in Ravenglass - Lake District, its such a beautiful, idylic place full of history, scenery and so much more...
They have so many different special events, also have a World Owl Centre which is magical......
:-) :-)

We usually go to National Trust places- houses or gardens. Or, like Julia garden centres. I believe Ludlow is a nice place to visit, what about Shrewesbury or is that too close?
Difficult as I don't know where your trains go.
Worcester, Warwick - castle is expensive but good.
Stratford on Avon.

minihousenut my side of the Cotswolds or South? As you say lots of places there to visit but difficult by rail.

York is a beautiful city - I think the most ineresting of all the cathederal cities.

To heal my soul - beside a beach on a stormy day.

Good idea Merlin lol especially the no peddling! Maybe a cycle rickshaw? :-D

I believe York is very interesting Julia, I 'd want to spend a few days there so maybe in the summer :-)

Best get a Tandem Rose with Panniers for the plants or roses, But make sure you are at the back.so no peddling. :-D :-D

Got the gist of the thread now Rose. Well, if Dan is involces and a train journey, how about York. I believe there is a military museum there, and a rail museum also. In any case, it is historic.

Julia in Derbyshire

lol Wisechild I use " If I was going there, I wouldn´t start from here in the first place." myself :-) I may do that actually as though Dan has been down there on his bike I haven't yet , which is silly as it's so close, but having moved several times I just haven't got around to it.

Merlin I will do that today :-D

Get him 0nline then Rose, Or go and look,they,re very helpful there. also register and they,ll send you a catalogue FOC. :-D
