Bamburgh is impressive

Stonehenge had a in between works visitor centre last time there, but stones are impressive.

Colchester castle and the Roman walls.

York is great for a wander around.

Anglesey was interesting - wish we’d spent longer there.

Stirling Castle more impressive than Edinburgh in my opinion, walk up the hill though.

Orkney and Shetland I want to go back to and see the prehistoric stuff and scapa flow

I want to see the rugby at Cardiff one time and go back to Belfast, haven’t seen the titanic stuff.

Always ride the trams! As many and as often as you can (Miss Devil).

They have their electric trams weekend in September, when all their operational trams will be running, and we're going! Can't wait! Accommodation nearby booked.
