How nice of you James! I like "( 1) That LONDON place" you've mentioned. but no hope if with hubby as he doesn't like city anymore.

Why not add the Stonehenge if she likes historical places. How about Durham Cathedral and Angel of the North.

Wasn't the cheese rolling banned this year, health and safety or something?

I think the countryside of England is very lovely. Devon, Dartmoor in particular and the farmlands that looked like quilt, the coasts (jurassic coast is very lovely), Bath and other Roman places, like Silchester which has the ruins of a Roman Town and the Roman amphitheater, White horse hill, English heritage places like Stonehenge, Woodhenge and Castles....

[LEAHnew]

Hi James nice to see you back
I will add Isle of Wight been there so lovely place and let her meet the gang in Birmingham
I've met lots of couples there so helpful and very friendly

... spoilt for choice with that "little" lot, for starters ...

any other suggestions??

... also ... how about beautiful and scenic Perthshire? It's set right in the 'Heart of Scotland' ... and easily accessible by road or rail from most parts of the UK. Only REAL problem is the weather!

[mikey73]

when in scotland dont forget inverness and loch ness (its 6 miles from inverness) and along the moray firth you can watch dolphin's playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9eINfk0gu4 they can be as close as 20 feet from you. the rest of the highlands and the isle of skye is regarded as one of the most beautiful places in the uk

[James Hubbard]

Thanks everyone for your responses so far! I am gonna add them to my list

[Northerner]

I have been thinking about this same scenario all week

I think the main thing first of all with my Mahal is my home city and everything I an think of doing together. Theatre, comedy club, bars, places to eat.. Just getting around and experiencing the culture.

after that, it would be the wider UK and even places I want to visit myself.. I have yet o visit cornwall! Edinburgh! laces that I want to visit but would rather visit with someone, these are the places I will go... As well as the odd trip to blackpool and Alton Towers

[mistermatty]

Poundland and Ann Summers

[bornatbirth]

dont forget primark

[gparry2007]

dont forget primark

let me add TK MAX bornatbirth

Marks & Spencer ... that great British "Institution" ... patronised by Margaret Thatcher et al ... although there IS at least one branch of it I know of in Manila!

[Steve.r]

How about the west country, always a beautiful place to be, but we are all locally bias in that respect.
My Mahal says she watched the new Robin Hood film, so when she comes over we are going to go to some 'real' castles. A really good one for us 'southerners' is Arundel Castle. Also being close to Wales, there are several good ones there. Stone Henge is good, but a shame you cannot get right up to the stones these days.

I told my mahal this morning that I will take her to the beach fishing one night, she was excited about that,then I told her it will be so cold that she will lose the feeling in her feet and hands, something she has never experienced before Warming up is always fun though
