hey all, anyone have any suggestions of sites to see in the uk? im heading over in 2 weeks and i dont care where i go aslong as i have a good time while im there.

It depends what kind of things you like..

well the northwest is superb..

Chester (roman town)

Liverpool (city of culture, docks)

Manchester (awesome)

then you're only 1hr 30 mins from the glaciated landscapes of the Lake District.

its all culture and nature in the northwest mate (plus it wont cost you like £40 a pint like it does in london)

Sherwood Forest & Nottingham castle.....the legend of robin hood.

I've always loved York.... good shopping, history and plenty of pubs

Yorkshire, Yorkshire uber alles.

You have some great coastlines; the Yorkshire Moors; the Yorkshire Dales; the best beer on god's earth; obv York itself and if you like you industial history you have bradford (with good curry - traditional english ya'kno) and shopping you have Leeds.

All that and never needing to put up with Lancastrians, scousers, mancs or scallies

all great ideas thx im trying to get the whole experiance

Best of luck, we are a small but rather full (of things to see and do) country

Hey! You gotta visit Edinburgh,

It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The architecture within the city is a must as its mindblowingly gorgeous. To savour this take a ghost tour, you'll love the history behind the city. We possess one of the friendliest population ever, you'll learn this in one of the many pubs and bars!!

If you are only gonna visit for a few weeks, do it during the end of August. This is when the Festival (worlds best comedians, street acts, plays, theatre) is winding down. By coming in the last week of August you will witness one of the best firework displays ever witnessed up against the stunning backdrop of Edinburgh castle. Quite stunning! This is to celebrate the closing of the festival.

Oh, and also visit during Hogmanay (New Year) when half of Edinburghs population congregates in one street, Princess Street, for one hell of a party! They also do another fire work display during this time.

Enjoy your travelling, take care!

stonehenge yay lol its beautiful, although i love the nine ladies which is a smaller version an more accessible but a fair old walk from the nearest road

Some other vital places, visit the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, especially the island of Skye and the Outer Herbean Islands off the north east coast of Scotland. The beaches here are almost like the caribbean in that they have white sand but have bloody freezing water. You'll be able to do seal and dolphin watching here. Skye has fantastic climbing opportunities whereas Lewis boasts having the oldest standing stones (older than Stonehendge) called the Callanish.

Visit Loch Ness near Inverness to see if you can catch a glimpse of the monster. Whatever you do, dont miss going to visit Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness. Most ppl will be familiar with it being in Highlander the film with Sir Sean "James Bond" Connery.
