OK

Having just spent 2 really cool days in York, which truly is a beautiful place, got me thinking about my favourite places in the UK.

York has just overtaken Chester.

Yours ?

Edinburgh is lovely too as long as you stay out of the Niddrie Mains.

Good call, lots of nice fishing villages in Devon/Cornwall. One of those would get my vote too.

York is nice,but rammed full of tourists most of the year. Can also be a bit of a bugger to park in town.

Agreed! People are mental going across the low bit of that path by the sea when the waves lashing against it. The long way round is better than a drowning.
