My friend and I have been talking about going away for the weekend this weekend, we just have no idea where to go.

I'm making a list of places that we could go as a possibility so would like some suggestions please.

Depends what you want really.

Brighton for the obvious.

Snowdonia- that whole area is lovely.
See also Brecon Beacons and Caenarfan (or however you spell it). Basically: Wales. That's if you want a more peaceful time with country pubs and the such. Lots of nature and wildlife.

Bath is nice and quaint but nightlife isn't great.
Bristol, however, is very good for nightlife (not that I'm biased!).

Derby is nice too and not too far from you.

York is meant to be a great weekend away - stuff to do in the day, bit of history, good nightlife.

My friend and I are trying to organise a trip to London, but I dunno how much you are looking to spend and that could be expensive (we have railcards and a friends sofa to kip on )

Winsford has Lego Land!! We went there for a long weekend once, it was so much fun (we got a deal of hotel+legoland tickets so it was a bit cheaper).

Lake District is nice too, but obviously a different type of holiday.

I'd love to go to Brighton but it's a bit far away for such an impromtu weekend.

Snowdonia is a good one, I've been to Betwys-y-coed on quite a few occasions.

We'd be alright without having a mad night out, I think we're more looking for somewhere scenic where we can have a chilled night.

We'd said it was a shame it was cold else we'd have gone camping.

I did have Bristol on my list though.

Yeah, I suggested the Lake District. The Peak District is practically on our doorstep and I think we're thinking of going somewhere a bit different.

I can imagine, bit far to come for the weekend though.

That's actually a great idea - hmmmm....


@boobear Said

Cambridge
Yorkshire Dales
Liverpool for nightlife
London


All were on my list, apart from London!

The bloke my friend is seeing lives in Derby so she'll be bored of it I'd imagine

I like the idea of York. I've always wanted to go to Legoland, I want a go of the gold panning thing!

Actually, that's a really good idea. I shall definitely put that one forward to her.

Ahh if you want someone scenic I would suggest Derbyshire dales, Yorkshire dales or new forest.

Not that it matters, but I had a fantastic time in Liverpool I learned a few things, like climbing fences in heels after too many tequila shots probably isn't a good idea.
