@@timhannah4 I mean, it's number 1 because it's number 1. I don't particularly like what London is becoming, but I can't deny that it dwarfs ever other major city in the UK, and by a distance. There's a reason why it's by far the most visited location in the British Isles. It's just fashionable to diss it when you're from the UK.

York, Cornwall, Northumberland, Lake District, The Scottish Highlands, The historic Royal Dockyard Portsmouth, home of HMS Victory and the Mary Rose, The Barbican Plymouth, where the Pilgrim Fathers set sail from and Dartmoor., plus many more.
It didn’t include York, being able to walk around the city wall, visit the cathedral (York minster), Cambridge, Oxford. These are prestigious university cities, go punting along the river cam in Cambridge taking in all the sights of the universities in Cambridge.
Oldest Inn in England is Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem built into the sandstone rocks of Nottingham Castle Dated 1190 AD and Next to the Castle is Standard Hill where Charles 1 raised his standard (flag) to summon the start of the Civil War in 1642.
I'm from the states but came over to England many years ago. I have lived all over the country due to work and the country has many beautiful places; The New Forest being one of my favorites. There are also plenty of beautiful places in the north and of course the Lake District.
Beatrix Potter and the Lake District, her home for the majority of her life. How could one not want to visit the place where her, inspiration and imagination was fed so beautifully
They always miss out the Southwest - Devon and Cornwall are amazing counties. I am of course biased as I live in Devon! The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are stunning, they're both in Cornwall.
TBF, so are most countries. The US has such varied and epic landscapes and then you have major cities like New York. I can see why Americans don't leave their country often - aside from old buildings, they have pretty much every holiday destination covered.
I am from Belfast the bubble in the centre is a shopping mall called Victoria square and the bubble is a view point where you can go up for free and look out over the city
Tip: Don't be too greedy with your planned destinations or you'll spend too much time rushing and stressing, give yourself more time than you'd imagine for each location so you can relax and enjoy it.
I live in north wales and have walked most of the mountains in Snowdonia. There are many routes up the mountain but you can get a train up and or down to a cafe at the top. The area is absolutely stunning. ❤
Cornwall is one of England's most depressed areas. Like Blackpool, or Stoke. This is also a top 10. You need to suggest why Cornwall should be included and where in this list it could replace.

If you ever found yourself in Southampton, England (not much to see tbh) there is a small museum dedicated to the Titanic, as it sailed from and was heavily crewed by people from the city. The one memorable thing in the museum was the map of the city, on the floor, with a marker indicating the home of each and every person who died during the tragedy. It brings home how many families suffered.

The castle at the end is worth seeing it’s Stirling castle you can actually walk the woods at the back of the hill you see in pictures and up into the castle grounds. in the background you can also just make out the Wallace Monument (the guy from the film Braveheart) Stirling is a good tourist spot easy travel Edinburgh, Glasgow, Loch Lomond and up to three highlands. You spending time in Scotland it’s a good base to travel round from
The London museums, Natural History, Science, Victoria and Albert, Imperial War museum, Maritime Museum, British museum (Rosetta Stone) and art galleries - National, Tate and many others are free to enter! You pay to go into The Tower of London but there's so much to see it's well-worth the entrance fee! When I visit London from the North West of England, there is so much to see it is truly mind-blowing!
A decent list, all recommendable. Although very England-centric, and to omit a single inclusion of Cornwall, Devon, or Dorset in a Top 10 England list is a bit of a crime IMO ;) I also would suggest Cambridge over Oxford as it's just a little prettier (imo of course).
I live on the coast in Northumberland, I could make a video just on this area alone, we have beaches, forests, castles, mountains and all within a few hours drive away. We have so many more places that are much better than these suggested all over our country, the Lakes are stunning as is the Peak District, down south the countryside matches our own here. The Isle of Skye is the best place I've ever been in the UK, we had our honeymoon there, it is breathtaking.
Northumberland is a beautiful but often overlooked region of the UK, probably I imagine, due to it's relative inaccessibility - it's pretty far away from any other 'hub', the closest being Newcastle, which in of itself is a rather isolated English city. That's not necessarily a bad thing though - it means Northumberland is a lot more untouched. The climate up in that part of Britain can be pretty bleak though, oftentimes, even in summer when it's decent down in Southern England.
That last scene was Stirling castle looking east over Wallace Monument which wasn't mentioned in the top 10 but most certainly worth a visit. It's in central Scotland and has a huge history.
Also.When in London,do a boat trip on Thames,perhaps to Greenwich. When near Tower Bridge, drop into the Dickens pub..it overlooks a small but pleasant marina.
North Wales, Anglesey, Lake District, Whitby (North East England), York, North Yorkshire Moors, Liverpool, etc so much to see outside of London. The UK has so much to see that you could visit for a year and you will not have scratched the surface. Watch other youtubers videos that show you where they have been some who went to London but then came back to visit the real UK. Out of all those mentioned in the video, Edinburgh is probably my favourite. It all depends how much you want to immerse yourself. Go to Ireland for a holiday not part of a holiday you will not regret it. BTW I am English and I love these countries.
Brighton is where I live. I guess familiarity breeds contempt as I can't believe the city has made the top ten of best places to visit in the whole UK. Honest opinion.
I don't think Brighton is particularly interesting. Nice beach town but really it's just nice normal city, nothing particularly special about it. I have never lived there though, just been there a few times.
9:37 Glasgow cathedral (with the green roof) was built between the 11th and 15th centuries. (it was finished as it stands now in 1520) so it predates the USA by over 250 years. the oldest house in Glasgow (the provands lordship) is just across the street from the cathedral and was built in 1471. I see the cathedral practically every day and it still leaves me in awe every time, it's an incredible building. the crane you see just after is the finnieston crane. it was partly built by the company my dad worked for all his life. (RIP old man). its no longer in use but is kept as a symbol of Glasgows engineering heritage. the company (Sir william Arrolls) also built tower bridge in London , the forth rail bridge (well worth a look for you guys) and the Forth road bridge, the humber bridge (which at the time of building was the longest single span suspension bridge in the world) Sir William Arrol appears on the Scottish £5 note. watch?v=7zPWfDtulJQ
The Titanic Museum is a great place to visit. The RMS Titanic built by the White Star Line, Hartland & Wolff ship yard, Belfast in 1912 had an equally tragic but little known sister ship called the RMS Britannic. The last ship to be built by the famous White Star Line in 1914, at the outbreak of WW1. The Britannic served as a hospital ship in WW1 and was struck by a mine laid by a German U Boat and sunk off Greece in November 1916, 30 people were killed but over 1000 were saved, my Grandad being one of them. In stark contrast to her slightly older sister.
13:35 This shot, the Drone was hovering above my old balcony :D i know this view soooo well The glass dome is a shopping mall, Victoria Square. Really nice place!
So many of these American films miss out on the glories of the U.K. which tourists rarely go to. In England eg Peak District, Yorkshire Moors, Northumberland, Yorkshire Coast, Cornwall, Lake District
Where I live is the best area, Cornwall ftw. Everyone in the South of USA have strong links to Cornwall. I lived all over the UK, Cornwall is most wondrous place imo and the people are the best.
I love on the edge of the Cotswolds and can confirm it's a really nice place to visit. I'd also recommend a day trip to Puzzlewood, in the Forest of Dean.
Honestly guys check out the Lake District, my ex-wife used to love going to Ambleside, she fell in love with the area, the whole place is pretty stunning, the Yorkshire Dales are worth checking out too
the Lake District and Cornwall are missing from this list, both of which I highly recommend. Both are absolutely stunning and the sea views of Cornwall and the mountainous views of the Lake District are unmatched! 😍 I live in Cornwall and the coastal walks are the absolute best, of course in the summer time ☀
Virtually every city, town and village in the UK has something of interest to delight the curious tourist. From the grandiose, via the historic, to the picturesque and the peculiar we have it all.
I don't see much benefit in including Manchester if London is already on there (it's essentially just another 'big city', and such a Top 10 spot could be used for something more unique like an area in Cornwall, Devon, or - as I'm shocked they left it out - the Lake District. York absolutely agree though - it's probably the best city to visit in England for a first-time tourist in terms of "Englishness", as it has everything, and in a compact space as well.
The Belfast bubble as in other comments is a viewing platform in a high end shopping centre - the lift and staircase with the platform uniquely is free standing ! You can see city sights etched on the glass ! Belfast is home to where the game of thrones was mainly filmed locally and the Titanic Studios- the city is handy for a giants causeway day trip!
Belfast is my home town. I actually work in the shipyard and work down in the dock where the Titanic was built. The large dome Jess asked about is called the Victoria center it's just a large open air shopping complex. I wish they showed more of Belfast like the Samson and Goliath cranes, the game of thrones studios, known as the paint halls large hangers that were used originally to paint ship parts. Now known as Titanic studios.
Don't bypass London. People just don't know how to navigate to the most historic, non touristy places. It has so much to offer. Best City in the world.
Something to consider if you choose to visit. Great Britain is roughly 80,000 sq miles in area. Florida is slightly less at 66,000 sq miles. With an extensive train network, (if a little expensive at times), and regular coaches and bus services, it's very easy to get around. If you choose a rental car, make sure you ask for an auto. I have had first hand experience of you guys from across the pond putting it in 3rd gear an burning out the clutch in less then 10 miles!😂 Please come and visit
These are the most famous places. Which means you are going to have company! However there are hundreds of county towns and villages. The key is not to rush and don’t spend only one day anywhere. You can always come again.
I’m from the UK and I would definitely recommend visiting London. I think it’s an obvious must visit on a trip to the UK. HOWEVER, I would recommend only seeing London for say 3 days out of a 2-3 week trip
@@The_Big_Blue_Bug_of_Justice yeah, also the fantastic free museums, Tower of London, brilliant markets such as Borough and Camden markets, the Royal Parks, Greenwich, even just being able to see iconic sights like Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower I know…), Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral etc. I could go on forever. I lived in London for 8 years and had some brilliant times, it’s truly a great city. I’m glad to have moved back to Oxfordshire now, because London (or any big city) isn’t a place I’d want to live forever, but to say it’s not worth visiting when in the UK is just madness in my opinion.
@@oufc90 Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I'm happy to stick with mine. I don't find London worthwhile or interesting, and there are still better places to see in the UK.
@@danielleeskelton of course you’re entitled to your opinion, but in your original comment you spoke on behalf of everyone in the UK 😂 for what it’s worth I agree there are better places in the UK, I actually live in one of them. But I still think London is definitely worth visiting, in my opinion
If you visit the UK, try booking a trip on The PS Waverley, It was built in 1946. It became the last remaining seagoing paddle steamer in 1970. The PSPS bought the Waverley in 1974. It was restored to its 1947 appearance, and since 2003, National Historic Ships UK has listed it in the National Historic Fleet. I went on it when I was 15.
There’s a great name from the past - I’ve been on the Waverley and the Medway queen and the queen of the south =1960/70s some used to come to my local pier and do various trips herne bay pier( my town ) to Southend pier ect 👍.
The 'London Eye' is _not_ a "ferris wheel" ...sorry Mike, it's an 'moving observation platform' and it takes approximately 30 minutes to make one full rotation. It doesn't stop whilst passengers board and alight, so _getting on_ tips you slightly towards the _right_ side as you step between the pier and the platform. Likewise, you'll be tipped slightly to the _left_ as you alight (dismount). If you book in advance online, there's a slightly reduced fee to the paying the full fee on the spot, (& after queuing for quite a long while, as it's a popular attraction so the queues are expected and mostly very long). ... The Cotswolds are an area including countryside and villages where the houses are made of honey-coloured stones. It's very popular with tourists so can get really quite busy at certain times of the year. The villages are _lived-in_ and _not_ there "for show" as apparently some - possibly American (?!) tourists complained of "slow service" after entering a person's home an demanding chairs so they could "sit in the garden" and ordered "tea for six" ...the house owner, politely but firmly 'shooed them out of her house' - and wished for no more trespassers, I imagine (?!) :-( ... Brighton has a shingle (pebbles) beach, _not_ sand, but because the surf doesn't stir up sandy shores, the water will appear cleaner (once you've negotiated the shingle and limped to the waves...'open-toed sandals' are _not_ the best footwear for shingle beaches - be warned?!!) :) The road leading straight down to the seafront from the Main _'Brighton' Railway Station_ is steep enough to make the _seaward_ walking trip a pleasure, but, it's steep enough to make the return walk back up to the station, (especially after a full day of 'fun on the beach' and seafront), a bit harder on tired legs!! That entire road, though, is 'chock-a-block' with shops of a variety of types, colourful, musical and tempting to 'pop into and browse'... Brighton used to (I don't know if it still does, so do check online if you might be perturbed by it) have a nudist beach area, but if its still there, I'm sure it will be signposted so avoidable if "it's not your thing" (?!) :) I haven't been to Brighton since the '70's so am sure it's probably changed in all of those years. (Hopefully improved, but who can say in the current economic climate...?) I hope these two or three 'snippets of information' have helped improve upon the _rather scant_ 'info' as provided by the (AI ?) narrator.
Can't believe no where in the North of England was even mentioned! York!! The Yorkshire Dales!! The Lake District. When you come to the UK you will need a year at least ;-)

When I visit London from the North West of England, there is so much to see it is truly mind-blowing!
My top 10
Cotswolds
Lake District
North Norfolk Coast
London
Bath
Oxford
Stamford
Harrogate
York
New Forest
A decent list, all recommendable. Although very England-centric, and to omit a single inclusion of Cornwall, Devon, or Dorset in a Top 10 England list is a bit of a crime IMO ;)
I also would suggest Cambridge over Oxford as it's just a little prettier (imo of course).
You were so right about the Titanic museum. The building shape is designed to be the same size and profile of the ship!
I live on the coast in Northumberland, I could make a video just on this area alone, we have beaches, forests, castles, mountains and all within a few hours drive away. We have so many more places that are much better than these suggested all over our country, the Lakes are stunning as is the Peak District, down south the countryside matches our own here. The Isle of Skye is the best place I've ever been in the UK, we had our honeymoon there, it is breathtaking.
Northumberland is a beautiful but often overlooked region of the UK, probably I imagine, due to it's relative inaccessibility - it's pretty far away from any other 'hub', the closest being Newcastle, which in of itself is a rather isolated English city. That's not necessarily a bad thing though - it means Northumberland is a lot more untouched. The climate up in that part of Britain can be pretty bleak though, oftentimes, even in summer when it's decent down in Southern England.
Walking over Waterloo Bridge, London at sunset.
Best views of London
Great song by the Kinks.
I'm a Londoner and still love walking over it.
Lift off at Gatwick is the best view of London as it means I am going home to Edinburgh or Italy.
That last scene was Stirling castle looking east over Wallace Monument which wasn't mentioned in the top 10 but most certainly worth a visit. It's in central Scotland and has a huge history.
The Cotswolds is where a lot of celebrities live. Ellen moved there recently. Your loss is, er, also ours in the UK! 🤐
Not Ellen degenerate?
Also.When in London,do a boat trip on Thames,perhaps to Greenwich.
When near Tower Bridge, drop into the Dickens pub..it overlooks a small but pleasant marina.
Peculiar list
AI ?!
North Wales, Anglesey, Lake District, Whitby (North East England), York, North Yorkshire Moors, Liverpool, etc so much to see outside of London. The UK has so much to see that you could visit for a year and you will not have scratched the surface. Watch other youtubers videos that show you where they have been some who went to London but then came back to visit the real UK. Out of all those mentioned in the video, Edinburgh is probably my favourite. It all depends how much you want to immerse yourself. Go to Ireland for a holiday not part of a holiday you will not regret it. BTW I am English and I love these countries.
Brighton is where I live. I guess familiarity breeds contempt as I can't believe the city has made the top ten of best places to visit in the whole UK. Honest opinion.
I don't think Brighton is particularly interesting. Nice beach town but really it's just nice normal city, nothing particularly special about it. I have never lived there though, just been there a few times.
@@bookclub5021 It's like many UK seaside resorts, but with more LGBTQ people.
Agree. Live ten miles from Brighton and it certainly wouldn't be on my list of places to visit.
Best place for ladyboys
It's just another seaside resort, plus extra gays.
9:37 Glasgow cathedral (with the green roof) was built between the 11th and 15th centuries. (it was finished as it stands now in 1520) so it predates the USA by over 250 years.
the oldest house in Glasgow (the provands lordship) is just across the street from the cathedral and was built in 1471.
I see the cathedral practically every day and it still leaves me in awe every time, it's an incredible building.
the crane you see just after is the finnieston crane. it was partly built by the company my dad worked for all his life. (RIP old man). its no longer in use but is kept as a symbol of Glasgows engineering heritage.
the company (Sir william Arrolls) also built tower bridge in London , the forth rail bridge (well worth a look for you guys) and the Forth road bridge, the humber bridge (which at the time of building was the longest single span suspension bridge in the world) Sir William Arrol appears on the Scottish £5 note.
watch?v=7zPWfDtulJQ
Shocking!! You can’t have a top ten places in the uk without including the Lake District!
I'm so happy Bath is on here, I studied/lived there, gorgeous place.
The Titanic Museum is a great place to visit. The RMS Titanic built by the White Star Line, Hartland & Wolff ship yard, Belfast in 1912 had an equally tragic but little known sister ship called the RMS Britannic. The last ship to be built by the famous White Star Line in 1914, at the outbreak of WW1. The Britannic served as a hospital ship in WW1 and was struck by a mine laid by a German U Boat and sunk off Greece in November 1916, 30 people were killed but over 1000 were saved, my Grandad being one of them. In stark contrast to her slightly older sister.
13:35 This shot, the Drone was hovering above my old balcony :D i know this view soooo well
The glass dome is a shopping mall, Victoria Square. Really nice place!
There’s a pub in Nottingham which has been there since the 11th century. It is at the side of the Castle rock.
I've drank there 🍻 I stayed in radford I'm from Glasgow ' out of the frying pan and into the fire 😂 👍
The Trip to Jerusalem I live in Nottingham and know it well
So many of these American films miss out on the glories of the U.K. which tourists rarely go to. In England eg
Peak District, Yorkshire Moors, Northumberland, Yorkshire Coast, Cornwall, Lake District
@ usually London, Stratford upon Avon, Warwick Castle and a cream tea in Devon and they go home thinking Britain looks the same everywhere.
@ My home city also though I live near Lincoln these days.
Hi Guys The Lake District is one of the most beautiful and natural parts of The UK 🇬🇧 and its not even mentioned in your video post!!!
This list missed off the lake district in Cumbria. I might be biased. But one of the most beautiful places in Britain.
Totally agree- for the people who’ve never been to the UK it’s an extraordinary place to see
Yes, the most beautiful place in England.
Where I live is the best area, Cornwall ftw. Everyone in the South of USA have strong links to Cornwall.
I lived all over the UK, Cornwall is most wondrous place imo and the people are the best.
Wow, they missed so much.
Warwick Castle and Stratford-upon-Avon. Really close together and near the Cotswolds. That's an easy 2 day itinerary
They missed out Greggs.
😂😂😂
Never mind that - they missed out Barnsley!😮
The perfect combination of both shopping and eating 😂
I recently watched a lovely US couple post their drive/visit through Northumberland. That US couple sampled an unspoilt beauty and they knew it.
Look up Brighton Pavilion
What a work of art it is
Great suggestion
The Bell Inn in Moreton-in-Marsh in the Cotswolds was the inspiration for The Prancing Pony in Bree.
I cried on the tiny rollercoaster that is on Brighton Pier. It was so small and the angles were so sharp it was just unpleasant and not fun. I was 30.
I love on the edge of the Cotswolds and can confirm it's a really nice place to visit.
I'd also recommend a day trip to Puzzlewood, in the Forest of Dean.
Scotland & Wales are in England now!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The best holiday is one you take in a music/arts/books/comedy/drama festival
So when are you guys coming to the UK?
The bubble you see in the centre of Belfast is The Dome Shopping Centre
The North of England. Manchester, Liverpool etc
Honestly guys check out the Lake District, my ex-wife used to love going to Ambleside, she fell in love with the area, the whole place is pretty stunning, the Yorkshire Dales are worth checking out too
Norwich in Norfolk never gets a mention, full of history and seriously underrated.
It's not top 10.
I’ve travelled all around the world and I’ve yet to find a region more stunning than the Peak District. Me and my dogs never get bored of the hikes.
I find the Peak District very dark and bleak. I am from the Cotswolds. Much warmer and prettier.
Oxford is a special place also Devon & Cornwall down south x
the Lake District and Cornwall are missing from this list, both of which I highly recommend. Both are absolutely stunning and the sea views of Cornwall and the mountainous views of the Lake District are unmatched! 😍 I live in Cornwall and the coastal walks are the absolute best, of course in the summer time ☀
VISIT Beamish in Co Durham.and Newcastle
How about Plymouth, Torquay, Dartmoor, and the rest of Devon too.
Big Ben is one of the many bells that are located at the top of Westminster Tower that chimes.
Remember big Ben is the bell the tower is called the elizabeth tower and big Ben is at the top big Ben is the one you hear on the hour.
Punctuation would help.
Virtually every city, town and village in the UK has something of interest to delight the curious tourist. From the grandiose, via the historic, to the picturesque and the peculiar we have it all.
Manchester and York were glaring ommissions. And the Titanic museum is shaped to look like the front of the ship, well spotted Jess
Ohhnhhhhhhhh.......York.......dreamy sighhh! I love it!🥰
If they wanted to make it accurate should have been upside down
I don't see much benefit in including Manchester if London is already on there (it's essentially just another 'big city', and such a Top 10 spot could be used for something more unique like an area in Cornwall, Devon, or - as I'm shocked they left it out - the Lake District. York absolutely agree though - it's probably the best city to visit in England for a first-time tourist in terms of "Englishness", as it has everything, and in a compact space as well.
If you love the outdoors, you absolutely need to visit the Lake District and the Peak District!
I can't believe Jaywick, Clacton wasn't mentioned! 😉😆
Or Grimsby 😂
They're not to be mentioned in polite company!!😂😂😂
The poorest place in England.
Edinburgh Festival amazing. Book room 2 yrs ahead!! Also include the Edinburgh Military Tattoo up at Edinburgh Castle...wonderful
Newcastle
The Belfast bubble as in other comments is a viewing platform in a high end shopping centre - the lift and staircase with the platform uniquely is free standing ! You can see city sights etched on the glass ! Belfast is home to where the game of thrones was mainly filmed locally and the Titanic Studios- the city is handy for a giants causeway day trip!
That video is hilariously surface level.
Mentions "visit flea markets and local shops" shoes Regent Street, where all the most expensive brands are.
Belfast is my home town. I actually work in the shipyard and work down in the dock where the Titanic was built. The large dome Jess asked about is called the Victoria center it's just a large open air shopping complex. I wish they showed more of Belfast like the Samson and Goliath cranes, the game of thrones studios, known as the paint halls large hangers that were used originally to paint ship parts. Now known as Titanic studios.
Definitely bypass London .
Don't bypass London. People just don't know how to navigate to the most historic, non touristy places. It has so much to offer. Best City in the world.
Something to consider if you choose to visit. Great Britain is roughly 80,000 sq miles in area. Florida is slightly less at 66,000 sq miles. With an extensive train network, (if a little expensive at times), and regular coaches and bus services, it's very easy to get around. If you choose a rental car, make sure you ask for an auto. I have had first hand experience of you guys from across the pond putting it in 3rd gear an burning out the clutch in less then 10 miles!😂
Please come and visit
Missed out an awful lot, pretty poor really.
These are the most famous places. Which means you are going to have company! However there are hundreds of county towns and villages. The key is not to rush and don’t spend only one day anywhere. You can always come again.
Nobody from the UK would suggest visiting London. A waste of time and money. Far better places to visit.
I’m from the UK and I would definitely recommend visiting London. I think it’s an obvious must visit on a trip to the UK. HOWEVER, I would recommend only seeing London for say 3 days out of a 2-3 week trip
@@oufc90same here. Harry Potter World, Abbey Road, Whitechapel Tour. Don’t hate it because it acts like a city.
@@The_Big_Blue_Bug_of_Justice yeah, also the fantastic free museums, Tower of London, brilliant markets such as Borough and Camden markets, the Royal Parks, Greenwich, even just being able to see iconic sights like Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower I know…), Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral etc. I could go on forever. I lived in London for 8 years and had some brilliant times, it’s truly a great city. I’m glad to have moved back to Oxfordshire now, because London (or any big city) isn’t a place I’d want to live forever, but to say it’s not worth visiting when in the UK is just madness in my opinion.
@@oufc90 Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I'm happy to stick with mine. I don't find London worthwhile or interesting, and there are still better places to see in the UK.
@@danielleeskelton of course you’re entitled to your opinion, but in your original comment you spoke on behalf of everyone in the UK 😂 for what it’s worth I agree there are better places in the UK, I actually live in one of them. But I still think London is definitely worth visiting, in my opinion
If you visit the UK, try booking a trip on The PS Waverley, It was built in 1946. It became the last remaining seagoing paddle steamer in 1970.
The PSPS bought the Waverley in 1974. It was restored to its 1947 appearance, and since 2003, National Historic Ships UK has listed it in the National Historic Fleet. I went on it when I was 15.
There’s a great name from the past - I’ve been on the Waverley and the Medway queen and the queen of the south =1960/70s some used to come to my local pier and do various trips herne bay pier( my town ) to Southend pier ect 👍.
If you a pier, check out Southend pier, it is 2 miles long & is the longest in the world. You can walk it or it has it's own train to the end! 👍
This was a good reaction I think you will enjoy your visit here, I think the bath water in the roman baths looks as if it's never been changed 😂🤣😂
i lived in bath for a couple of years,nice place great pubs!!!
The 'London Eye' is _not_ a "ferris wheel" ...sorry Mike, it's an 'moving observation platform' and it takes approximately 30 minutes to make one full rotation. It doesn't stop whilst passengers board and alight, so _getting on_ tips you slightly towards the _right_ side as you step between the pier and the platform. Likewise, you'll be tipped slightly to the _left_ as you alight (dismount).
If you book in advance online, there's a slightly reduced fee to the paying the full fee on the spot, (& after queuing for quite a long while, as it's a popular attraction so the queues are expected and mostly very long). ...
The Cotswolds are an area including countryside and villages where the houses are made of honey-coloured stones. It's very popular with tourists so can get really quite busy at certain times of the year. The villages are _lived-in_ and _not_ there "for show" as apparently some - possibly American (?!) tourists complained of "slow service" after entering a person's home an demanding chairs so they could "sit in the garden" and ordered "tea for six" ...the house owner, politely but firmly 'shooed them out of her house' - and wished for no more trespassers, I imagine (?!) :-( ...
Brighton has a shingle (pebbles) beach, _not_ sand, but because the surf doesn't stir up sandy shores, the water will appear cleaner (once you've negotiated the shingle and limped to the waves...'open-toed sandals' are _not_ the best footwear for shingle beaches - be warned?!!) :) The road leading straight down to the seafront from the Main _'Brighton' Railway Station_ is steep enough to make the _seaward_ walking trip a pleasure, but, it's steep enough to make the return walk back up to the station, (especially after a full day of 'fun on the beach' and seafront), a bit harder on tired legs!!
That entire road, though, is 'chock-a-block' with shops of a variety of types, colourful, musical and tempting to 'pop into and browse'...
Brighton used to (I don't know if it still does, so do check online if you might be perturbed by it) have a nudist beach area, but if its still there, I'm sure it will be signposted so avoidable if "it's not your thing" (?!) :)
I haven't been to Brighton since the '70's so am sure it's probably changed in all of those years. (Hopefully improved, but who can say in the current economic climate...?)
I hope these two or three 'snippets of information' have helped improve upon the _rather scant_ 'info' as provided by the (AI ?) narrator.
