Favourite city has to be Edinburgh.
Love all of North Yorkshire, too many places to mention individually.
Devon and Cornwall are beautiful, Northumberland and Cumbria too.
Never visited Northern Ireland or Wales but from what I have seen it is beautiful.

…I haven’t been to every place on earth but I am starting to think that Northumberland might just be the best place on earth to be…it’s so incredibly beautiful……

A stretch of beach just outside Barmouth on the West coast of Wales here is my favourite, been going there on family holidays since I was a baby.

The most amazing, incredible sunsets, you can see the whole of the Llyn Peninsula from there. Spectacular.

Would like to visit Baltimore Beacon in Ireland. The coastline looks absolutely incredible.

I absolutely agree with you. Good for a day/evening (occasional night, even) out and definitely a bit better than Liverpool (which is otherwise a much better city) for economic opportunity but it’s just all a bit grim and toxic in the atmosphere. Not my thing. I either have to have a specific reason to be there or be visiting family to want to go to Manchester. No-doubt there’s stuff to do in Manny but like you say the atmosphere is just grim.

Bristol is just full of junkies and wannabe hippies and Bath is just full of tourists

Saved you a trip there

No thank you. Bristol is an amazing city. Bath is overrated though, it is beautiful however. You can do it as a day trip from Bristol as it’s like 15 minutes away.
Also close by is Cheddar

I live in Bristol so I'm kind of hating on myself there I like the buzz and the cultural aspects of it but I also think it has a bit of a confused identity and I hate how expensive it is. As a tourist you can probably have a good time though

Ahh why did I not know we lived in the same city until I moved to Wales.

Yeah, Bristol has become super expensive to be fair. Even old Bedminster (beddy) has become spenny

But no Bristol does have a lot going for it really. Bath is pretty but you don't need long there imo, I don't think it's that special

I'll take your word for it Bristol def seems more interesting/exciting but they're not too far from each other so 2 in 1 visit.
