Barry Island.
It’s got a beach, a funfair, cafe’s, scenic walk, a history (Gavin & Stacey etc etc).
It’s in Wales, which is a beautiful part of the World (close your eyes and hold your nose if ever going past the Steelworks).

There’s a few places we’d recommend! A favourite of ours for a day out is Flamborough north landing beach.. beautiful location and it looks almost tropical on a sunny day 
If you’ve got a weekend to spare then head to the Cotswolds, chippy is one of our favourite places in the world. |

"London baby
So much to do and so many friends to visit "
I always take myself into London because I live here. I fancy something different. But London is great and you never run out out things to do or see |

"Would depend on the weather.
On a beautiful summers day,
It would be the beach, I totally relax there.
"
I so want to go to the beach more this summer. I usually avoid them |

"York is good for shopping & museums.
Saltburn has beautiful beaches and seal sands isn't too far for some nature.
Cambridge I've only been to once but it was beautiful.
Mrs "
York is stunning too. I would like to return there.
Cambridge is close and easy to get to so I might go there this summer |

Oh I thought the OP was about what I like to do.... 
For you sweet cheeks, I'd recommend a trip down to Winchester with the family, loads of history, culture, awesome parks and fabulous shopping, and its on the main line down |

So, Winchester is absolutely beautiful and not too far from you. Great and interesting history, slightly overpriced food but some great meals to be had.
St Albans is lovely for a day trip - fantastic food, great scenery and easily accessible. Some interesting places to potter around as well. In a similar vein - Oxford, esp during the holidays is lovely. Cambridge is better though! Both are on the pricier end of day trips though.
The Peak District is incredible - probably better if not relying on public transport though.
If I lived down your way I'd love to do at least some of the Seven Sisters walk - you can get the train quite easily and do as much or as little of it as you want to.
Oh and the Cotswolds! Bourton-on-the-Water and Castle Combe. They'll both be rammed during the holidays though.

I would second Winchester, its only about an hour from Waterloo. Lots of lovely stalls if you go on a market day, the cathedral is a good visit too if you like history. It is a bit posh and expensive, but you also go through lots of lovely countryside on the train x  |

York, Oxford or Cambridge I like to recommend for a city break |

The peak district is great, Dark peak would be my preference but Buxton is very pretty and chatsworth is worth a day |

Buxton is lovely and quaint and has a brilliant looking spa I'm very keen to try. This summer I'm aiming to do some sunrise walks up Mam Tor etc, last year I was too unfit to do it but I can now. Can't wait.
I hope you've got inspiration aplenty from this thread Pickle, it's a good one. |

So so many,
I love the hills or mountains
Yorkshire has some great scenery and pretty close by, wild swimming spots too,
Plus Leeds is a great centre for shopping and eating and so is York. The coast is pretty special too |

East London |
Brighton for a good old-fashioned trip to the seaside.
You can have a wander down The Lanes, have lunch in a little cafe, spend some time on the beach-paddling in the water, eating ice cream and wandering around the little businesses on the beach front, sight see for a few hours, dine at Riddle and Finns, then have an evening drink in one of the many bars where can make friends before you head home on the last train to London.

Well Studland is a stunning place for sexy people to visit. You have Corfe Castle down the road, Swanage steam railway, and it's all an hour away from Bournemouth if you want to stay there the night and go to Untamed nights in the evening xx

"Bath is a really nice town to wander around.
I'd like to visit Bath."
Oh Bath is beautiful! Not only do they have one of the best bookshops in the country (why yes I'm biased) but it's so dreamy to walk around. Quite hilly though but it's lovely. Esp the market opposite that big bridge. Oh and the tourist favourite area of the houses which I can't remember the name of.
I'd really love to visit Northumberland, that's on my list. |

To visit villages and cities, sure, but I like the countryside, the hikes and such |

Might try to persuade my sister to come with me then, she loves a book shop.
I've been to Northumberland; it was beautiful. It was a 2 week school trip so we did the horse riding, canoeing, orienteering stuff. I've never smelled cleaner air.
