If travel is ever possible again. Where should I go? I will definitely spend at least a week in Scotland and will also see the Bovington Tank Museum which is on the opposite side of the country.
I will probably be sticking to Great Britain. I’m thinking maybe two weeks in total, possibly three but I’m really just going to England to be depressed and angry and to see Bovington so realistically two.
UK Hexbearites and those unlucky enough to have traveled there - help me out.
I mean I only visited London a couple times. But like any big city it’s mainly good for food and drink. I very much enjoyed the Oriole bar. Pretty imperialisty looking back but what isn’t in the west. Fantastic drinks though. Each have their own fun cups so that’s cool
Sad no ones mentioned Edinburgh, defo my fav city I’ve visited. It’s got it all (castle, hills, city, old stuff, new stuff), it’s super walkable and the museums are free. Also you can go watch the politicians debate in the parliament for free
In terms of in and around London, if you like tanks, definitely go to the Imperial War Museum. The Royal Airforce Museum is pretty amazing too. The Natural History and Science Museum is also brilliant, if that’s up your alley. I think there’s a war museum or RAF museum in Manchester too.
If you like untouched countryside, go to Wales or Scotland. If you like beaches and surfing, go to Devon or Cornwall.
Go for a Sunday Roast at a pub - yorkshire puddings are a must, and try out some of the ciders. Personally I love English Cuisine, even if the rest of the world thinks it’s only fit for feeding farm animals. Might as well try it while you’re here. Classic Fish and Chips, Pasties, Sausage Rolls, or our national dish, chicken tikka masala, which actually originated in scotland and is frowned upon by anyone who knows anything about curry.
EDIT: Also, the Mandela Way Tank in London, although once you’ve read the wikipedia article there’s no real reason to go, unless you want a picture with it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandela_Way_T-34_Tank
The history of it is quite amusing.
