Spend at least one day NOT going to any tourist things. No exhibits, memorials, etc. etc.. Just grab coffee somewhere, read the paper, watch TV, go see a movie, or do laundry. Sounds strange, but it's a really good way to see a different side of a new country (and get laundry done) while giving yourself time to relax instead of running all over to fit everything in. Nothing worse then coming home and being able to say you briefly glimpsed a pile of rocks in castle shape while rushing past. It's also a good time to look at flyers and posters to see what sparks interest for the next day.

Assuming you will be staying in London, go and see a few theartre shows, go to London zoo, maybe go to the parks, and take it from there.

It depends where you're staying. If you want good countryside, lakes and walks visit Scotland - If you're adventurous there's lots of opportunity for white water rafting, etc here.

If you want friendly people visit the North. A day shopping in Leeds, a walk on the Yorkshire Dales or the North York Moors and a day in York.

If you like your countryside flat visit the south or Norfolk. If in Norfolk you can get a boat on the Broads.

If you like dirt, unfriendly people and shops to big to actually find anything you like visit London.

Depends on your age and interests, the UK is not the best for Skiing but scenery ,walking,all types of racing if you have the money.Contact tourist information wherever you are.There is a lot to do if you are prepared to do it.

Buckingham Palace, London zoo, Oxford street shopping and so on.

depends where your staying in the uk, its not that small, take you at least 12hours to travel from one end to the other by car. south is the best areas for beaches and slightly warmer than the rest of the country. cormwall, devon are the usual holiday destinations for us brits. lovely beaches, perranporth in cornwall is the best ive come accross yet. somerset is nice 2 or bournemouth. have fun!

If you want to have fun and see as much as possible go to London, If you want to see the countryside go to the westcountry or the cotswalds, if you want to come back in one peice don't go to manchester

You must of course visit London, the best City in the World. Then maybe go to Bath, York or Chester as heritage places. Then try some countryside, maybe The Lake District, The Cornish Coast, Scotland etc etc

You've put this question in the Newcastle category.

So are you looking for good places to visit in Newcastle or just the UK in general?

We're kind folk us Brits, and we'll help you have a fantastic holiday. So extend the question and be a bit more specific. where are you visiting, how old are you, do you like culture, scenery, history etc...

At the moment, your best off staying where you are. Its just not safe out there.. Too many loonies about, wanting to kill people and spoil things for the good and normal people of the world.. Take Care!!.... xx

If you live in Newcastle- hard luck. Anywhere else will seem like Heaven.

The New Forest ( Hampshire/Dorset ) you can be 10 mins from brilliant scenery and woodland walks & 10 mins from the beach, where else that can offer that. ( i would like to know? ).

Got to agree with Mas, go to scotland, especially the highlands. My friend has just come back from 2 weeks in cornwall and she said that you could not beat the scenery, so i told her to try the highlands, good luck with your holiday, have a good time, hope i have helped

Mas

Come to Scotland, the Highlands in particular, nice people, beautiful scenery and if you go to Loch Ness you may see Nessie, if she's in a good mood.

I'd say Edinburgh, its class. Lovely place
