If any of you are visiting the UK here are some of my favourite places to visit/stay:

1. Cornwall (the only Celtic part of England). All the south-west has nice scenery and beaches, but Cornwall is in a league of its own. Best to avoid Newquay though, unless you like typical drunken loutish behaviour. The rest of Cornwall (despite being a top English tourist destination) runs at a slower, more civilised pace.
2. Bath
3. York (and indeed much of Yorkshire)
4. Glasgow and Edinburgh
5. West coast of Scotland. Highlands and Islands
6. London (if you've plenty of money to spend).
7. Nottingham

I've also heard that the south-west coast of Wales is very nice.

And here's 3 things to try:
1) A cream tea (how many calories can you take)?
2) Drinking in a traditional UK pub (not to be found anywhere in London - avoid)
3) Museum of Religion in Glasgow or the Galleries of Justice in Nottingham.

Enjoy!!!
