I’ve done a few bus tours of different parts of the States. Loved it. The tour guides were locals and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Where would you like to visit?

depend on what time of year, spring thunderstorms, hot summers, ice storms, but I guess it's the same everywhere you'd go

If you got off the plane, the first thing you'd see is the wide open spaces,a very big sky, and looking for your return ticket

someone said "home is where you go and they have to let you in" or something like that, I just wanted to know what people would show strangers, the museum's places of interest, or their local claim to fame

West Park possibly. It's a lovely park with the added bonus/downside of being next to the brewery, so sometimes you can smell them brewing

Sad as it is, the Northampton museum, largely as it has a lot of info about the history of shoe making in the town, and that’s about all it’s famous for

We've just moved to a new area. Maybe we'd show them the old mining areas, although they're pretty ubiquitous in this part of the world. There's a groovy old Hall up the road but it's a private house so you can't go inside. Some interesting literary history there though.

Coal mining. It was the main industry across this part of NW England for much of the 19th and 20th centuries.

And the hall was once the home of a writer, yes.

Based on your earlier description, I don't need to guess where you are (massive BH fan here!)

Sheffield I believe, which is about an hour's drive away. So almost next door in US terms and practically a different country here in the UK
