Travel to UK

I hope that you will really enjoy your trip to the UK. I suggest bringing or buying once there some warm clothes. The fastest way to go from city to city like Leeds to London for example would be by train. The intercity trains can be very fast. Look at the Virgin Trains website after you work out your dates. That way you can take advantage of cheap fares. National Express is a coach service and it has reasonable prices. In Lancashire Lytham St Anne's is a very pleasant area for a stroll by the side of pretty Fairhaven Lake, going to the bird center and seeing the lovely old white windmill. A trip to the glorious Lake District might be delightful for you. The old city of York might be worth you exploring as well.

How I envy you! I wish one day I would have the opportunity to go to UK, too. There are some places I highly desire to visit. One is the famous Hyde Park, which is said to be abundant of speeches. Any one can adress a speech there with a small stool, it is said. And I would like to see that with my own eys and listen with my own ears. And Cambridge and Oxford are surely the places that is worth visiting. It is there where has a long history of excellent ecucation and produce lots of excellent people of letters, of science and also of politics.

What are you interested in? The uk is a very diverse and variable place, you can see almost anything you want, just depends where your major interests lie. For example, are you interested in history or modern stuff, fine art or shopping? The UK can be cheap if you are prepared to work at it and make loads of contacts before you go rather than buying wyhatever you first see

Hi Chris. Well like anywhere, it will depend on the amount of time you have, the money you have available, and what you are interested in. I live in London, so of course I'm going to say you can't come to the UK without visiting our capital city - even if for only one or two nights. Once here, you can see the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, as well as visiting the famous Oxford Street and Regent Street, which will all be lit up with the Christmas lights at that time of year. Try and take in a show in the West End while you are down here. I don't know the Burnley area very well, but I guess a trip to nearby Liverpool would be nice, so you could visit the Beatles' Museum and the old Cavern Club where the Beatles started out, or maybe to Manchester which is also close to Burnley, and has a great nightlife with clubs and bars. And if you like countryside and walking, go to the Yorkshire Dales or the Pennines, or to the Snowdonia area of North Wales, all of which are quite close to where you will be staying. A couple of things to remember - it will be cold! It will be mid-Winter here in England and the north is always colder than the South where I live. Also, if you can, book travel journeys in advance, because Christmas gets really busy on the buses and the trains, with the University and School holidays starting, and people travelling home to their families for the holiday period. Buses are usually cheaper than trains, but the journeys are much slower. And above all - welcome to my country and have fun!
