    Where do you like to visit?

    Scotland is stunning, but usually freezing cold. The lakes and the Peaks are great though.

    How about you?

    NW Scotland where the mountains come down to the sea.

    Whitby in North Yorkshire. Quite possibly my most fave place ever in the UK. Great fish and chips, lovely scenery, nice atmosphere and loads of stuff to do in and around the area.

    Cambridge, Bathe, York, Oxford... all splendid places I think. (York is a bit odd but that's why I like it... still has a Roman wall around the city.) Tons of history all over the place. It's all for the seeing. :)

    I was struggling to think of anywhere, but yes, this. The day I win the lottery is the day I buy one of the hotels overlooking the coast in Whitby and convert it into a house for myself to live there permanently.

    I quite like Scarborough too, but it's sadly a bit run-down nowadays from what I've heard.

    If anyone lives in Scarborough and knows that isn't true, I apologise - and please let me know, because I might buy a hotel or two there and make it a holiday home.

    Ooh high five there! If ever I did come into some vast, obscene amount of money I wanted to do something similar. I'd either buy a hotel or a B&B and run it.

    Every time I go there I buy a new piece of Whitby Jet jewelery, get a years worth of fish and chips all in a weekend, fill me face with cakes and sweets they don't sell up here, make meself sick on ice-cream and generally be a glutenous sod. So really, when we do go there it turns out to be a weekend of constant indigestion and passing out early because you're food-comaing.

    I'm taking me boyfriend there later on this month when he comes over and we're gonna go see the Hand of Glory they have in the museum. He's gonna go back home saying "I went to Whitby and saw a pickled hand." :2thumbsup:

    Oh yeah and Scarborough is a bit err...

    ... naff. o_O

    I've heard of that but never got around to seeing it. I've seen Captain Cook's old house though.

    Even the route to Whitby is great...long winding roads around miles and miles of countryside. :sunny:

    Yeah it should be kind of interesting for him 'cause he was born in Hawaii. XD He told me that over there, they have loads of statues and monuments dedicated to Captain Cook all over the place. I think someplace there is twinned with Whitby too.

    And yeah, even when you're driving to other places from Whitby it's lovely. You're not that far away from York or Goathland either. We didn't get to go on the old Steam-train there last time. Just ended up in some shop that sold nowt but Heartbeat merchandise. Brimham Rocks looks pretty neat though. :p
