I'm making a list. Google maps are open, a digital compass is swinging left to right; large mug of very milky tea and a pile of coconut biscuits by my laptop. Places to visit in the UK... September to December. Things of interest to do. I've abandoned my annual winter trip to Gran Canaria (no sun this year) because of the uncertainty and hassle of vaccine passports, tests, and quarantine restrictions etc. I've given up on the idea of any foreign travel until next year when, with some luck, everyone will have got so fed up with being stamped, swabbed and scanned that things will return to normal and 2020 and 2021 will be an unpleasant but distant memory for most. This will be two years in a row that I've had my international wings clipped. None of the inept shower down in Westminster will ever getting my vote at an election! But I digress! I've travelled to most parts of England, and a few regions in Scotland and Wales. I'm sure, though, that there are still hundreds of places of interest and attractions to visit around Great Britain that I've yet had the pleasure to visit and experience. If you have any thoughts, recommendations, suggestions, I'd be generally appreciative and demonstrably grateful for the opportunity to tap them into Safari and get my research going.
Lincoln is nice. Cathedral city. And many other old buildings.
I looks like a lovely town. I've never been that far East. I had a very bad experience in Nottinghamshire many years ago (Chesterfield) so I kind of dismissed the East of England after that. I have been past Grantham on the way to Cambridge. What is the character of the people like, M? https://www.wanderlust.co.uk/content/reasons-to-visit-lincoln-england-cathedral-castle/
Chesterfield is in Derbyshire. Mansfield in on the Nottinghamshire side of the border; than end.
Indeed. Mining area, Notts,Derbyshire, and South Yorkshire are full of old pit villages. I went on a tour of working mine as a wee lad. I was very young but i still remember the lift and the dark of the place.
