My husband and I went to England and spent about a week in Yorkshire earlier this year. WE LOVED IT. We stayed in Pateley Bridge and spent our vacation traveling around the Dales and Moors. We especially liked Whitby on the coast, as well as the whole area around Pateley Bridge.

It was a terrific trip and we LOVE Yorkshire. We WILL be back!

Yes. I've been to Cardiff, Wales and Manchester, Portsmouth, London in England. I loved every bit of my visit to your country. Beautiful scenery and great people. I've been there around five times, and plan to go back again and again.

Nope, but my mom has and my grandmother was from London!!!

I would really like to visit the north of England, I wouldn't bypass it like many people. Newcastle seems interesting.

I'll second this. My mom lived in North Yorkshire for five years and I visited her in the summer four times. She lived in a Harrogate which is a beautiful town known as a "Spa Town", lovely Victorian architecture and known for its hanging flower baskets on every corner and the area around it is stunning. It is also just a short drive to York, a charming town with lots of Tudor architecture and a famous cathedral.

Hi everyone, its intresting to know the people that went to Yorkshire love it as i'm from there i am a Yorkshireman :-) as is with most towns/cities around the world there is some people who bring the place down a bit but in yorkshire we are a good bunch of people, Lincolnshire and Lancashire are also lovely places! if you want a place to stay that is really something i worked at both of these hotels and i have to say i loved working there at them both they have fantastic surroundings.


Peveril of the Peak | Country House in Peak District

& this one is Coombe abbey which was the best out of the two, they are run by different companies so no relation what so ever..

I spent some weeks in the south, Hampshire zone in the countriside, the lanscapes are great and the cottages very cute sorrounded by sheeps, but it is extremely relaxing for me, I am mote city lover.
The town of Winchester is nice by the way.

I guess you mean beside Stonehenge.

I've been to Southampton for work, which has been inhabited since the stone age so I guess it qualifies as Old England.

My area in Pennsylvania was named after Northamptonshire and Easton Neston (a country house near Towcester). The house was bought in 2005 for £15 million by Leonid Maxovich Rodovinski , now Leon Max (born 1954 in Saint Petersburg, Russia) but living in USA since 1972. He started a line of clothing stores in 1979, and is obviously a multi-millionaire today.

American visitors in 2012 numbered 2,840,000. Many of them went outside of London. Flights to airports other than London, I believe only originate from New York City.

In 2012 15.5 million international visitors spent time in the capital. The rest of England attracted 12.8 million inbound visitors. Scotland attracted 2.2 million visitors and Wales 0.9 million visits.

I am planning a trip to Europe next year and want to go to England, but don't really even want to go to London that bad. Where in "old England" is a must?
