Lake district.
ReplyDeleteWhere wouldn't I go? In priority Order: West coast of Scotland; Cornwall; and Wales. And then a walk along Hadrian's wall.
ReplyDeleteYorkshire, the Lake District, or the Highlands or Scotland.
ReplyDeleteKind Sunday Regards,

Cotswolds
ReplyDeleteCotswolds, definitely. So pretty, such nice people, the pub culture, the boutique hotels, the farms, the palaces.
ReplyDeleteLondon, but leave the good watches and jewelry at home.
ReplyDeleteYorkshire Dales for the breathtaking scenery, the Cotswolds for the coziness.
ReplyDeleteHave dinner at Rules Restaurant in London.
ReplyDeleteSt. Albans. A half hour from London but feels like the country. It is a historic cathedral town with old pubs, outdoor markets, and plenty of unique architecture.
ReplyDeleteDinner at Wiltons in London, a pint at the Grenadier - Belgravia then off to the Lake District.
ReplyDeleteIf your trips are all expenses paid, you should push for several trips: (1) Start with London and places you can get to within a day: Windsor, Cambridge, Bath, etc. (2) Spend a week in Scotland, starting with Edinburgh then going to St. Andrews followed by a drive through the Highlands, first on the east (Aberdeen, Fort William), then down the west coast. (3) A drive through the Midlands and the north. I especially liked Lincoln when I was there in 1983. You still have Cornwall and Wales to explore, can’t recommend any special places there since they’re still on my list.
ReplyDeleteCornwall, in the summer.
ReplyDeleteLondon to visit my aunt and uncle.
ReplyDeleteNorth Foreland Broadstairs Kent.
ReplyDeleteLondon and Cowes, Isle of Wight for start of the Fastnet (100th anniversary this year ) and Cornwall
ReplyDeleteThat would be a most generous offer. I would accept it and visit in the neighborhood of Shakespeare & Company for a few days. It’s the most English place in Paris.
ReplyDeleteIn actual fact you would be rejecting the offer. I don't know if you are aware but Paris isn't in the UK!
DeleteHad no idea.
DeleteWe tend to visit Norfolk (Wells-Next-the-Sea or Sandringham Estate) often but I must give an honourable mention to my hometown, Romsey. With Winchester a short train ride away too.
ReplyDeleteLondon, the lakes district, and the Scottish Highlands! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI would skip Uk and go to Mustique.
ReplyDeleteGood idea and of course you'd be paying for yourself, so in actual fact the question doesn't apply to you
DeleteWithout dogs, it’s obvious: London. Stay at Cadagon Gardens.
ReplyDeleteI'd visit the homes of my Scottish ancestors in Edinburgh, Mull of Kintyre, Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline, Glasgow, St. Andrews, Blair, Perth, Irvine, Windyedge, Atholl, Govan, Kinnaird Castle, Lochinver, Dalkeith, Glenbervie, Kilboyack, Glenfarquhar, Halkerton and many more. I might need a map.
ReplyDeleteHaving been to London many times, I'd go to the Lake District, the Cotswolds, and Edinburgh Scotland.
ReplyDeleteGo North…Yorkshire, Durham and Newcastle. The people are friendly and the countryside is incredible.
ReplyDeleteYorkshire. If money was no object and I could live anywhere, that's where I would be.
ReplyDeleteVery sensible choice. I'm a Yorkshireman and that's where I live! Gods own country as we say here.
