If you're interested in castles and history, check out the English Heritage website. They run many of the castles and historic sites around England, including Dover, Stonehenge, etc. You can buy an overseas visitor pass, which gets you into most sites and ends up saving you a ton of money (depending on how many places you visit). They also have lots of events throughout the year.
Wales has some really impressive castles as well (not included in the overseas visitor pass).
Scotland is my favorite place for scenery in the UK - Glen Coe, the highlands, the isle of Skye...
As for cities, there are many good ones and it really depends on your interests, but London, Edinburgh, York, Bath, Conwy, Carnarvon, Chester, Winchester, Harrogate, Knaresborough, etc. are really nice.
You can also take a look at the National Trust website if you like historic houses (they also run a number of castles). |

People are voting in cities here. Villages make some great sighs, pick the right ones and you'll be in thatch heaven, Norman or Tudor surrounds that are much more accessible than cities. Google best villages UK and you'll gets some great ideas. They'll have great pubs and local fare attached. |

I'd aim for Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and England, if enough time. And definitely not too much time in London, as it's not typical of the country.
I'd include Stonehenge and Bath - possibly Cornwall too. And head over into Wales by land from there. In the north, York and Newcastle are great. The latter is fairly close to the southern Scottish border with England. Scotland is varied with great cities - Glasgow and Edinburgh amongst them, which are reasonably close to each other. The Scottish highlands are wonderful and I've spent weeks in them. Just a few ideas |

I'd definitely recommend catching some live music in Liverpool, ideally in the Cavern due to its history
Two great cathedrals here too if you're after architecture |
