My travelling feet have been getting very itchy lately. A full time job and stretched funds (thank you London rent prices) mean I’ve been staying put a whole lot more over the last year than I would perhaps choose. I have had a few lovely trips here and there, but while I’m more limited to Saturday and Sunday freedom, I’ve decided to do a little domestic travelling.
MSN Travel recently did a slideshow on Britain’s 50 unbeatable sights and I decided to finally do what I’ve always talked about – explore my home country. I’ve seen a few places here and there, but there are far more that I haven’t seen. I’ve taken ideas from this MSN article, but I’m also open to suggestions – so where should I go? I’ll be travelling whenever I can, reporting on what I’ve seen, and generally learning more about this place as I go along.
The UK is a bit of an underdog in the Europe holiday hotspots game if you ask me, so here’s one more person giving it it’s dues. Watch this space.
Lots more candidates:
Eilan Donan (http://visitscotland.ch/scotlands-castles/eilean-donan-castle.html)
Ely, Salisbury and Durham cathedrals
Polperro
Portmerion (http://www.360cities.net./image/battery-square-portmeirion-north-wales-uk#0.00,0.00,70.0)
Pretty much every island off the British coast seems worth a visit!
I know, there are a whole lot of places to visit… Think I’m going to try my best to do a weekend or day trip as often as I can. Maybe monthly if I can manage it! A good way to travel without quite as much of the expense!
Only scored 20 of Britain’s 50 unbeatable sights. Sad really!!
