Bamburgh is impressive

Stonehenge had a in between works visitor centre last time there, but stones are impressive.

Colchester castle and the Roman walls.

York is great for a wander around.

Anglesey was interesting - wish we’d spent longer there.

Stirling Castle more impressive than Edinburgh in my opinion, walk up the hill though.

Orkney and Shetland I want to go back to and see the prehistoric stuff and scapa flow

I want to see the rugby at Cardiff one time and go back to Belfast, haven’t seen the titanic stuff.

Totally understand that . I took 10 days to travel round the NC500 but used it as a rough guide and went and found my own way . Saw some of the most beautiful places I could imagine in the UK absolutely loved it up there and breathtaking in places .
