recommendations for a nice weekend away...

[lastyboy]

not in this country but i can highly recommend krakow for a nice weekend break. very historic with a stunning old old town square, castle looking over the river. lots of good restaurants which do great food and very cheap. also a day trip to Auschwitz is a real eye opener. can probably get flights and hotel for £120-£150pp

thanks for all the ideas!
Please keep them coming, but Brighton is too close, think I'd get an odd look if I suggested that!....

Crawley!

Bruges easy drive to the tunnel and not far the other side. Great place for a weekend. Not in this country but hay-ho

We're going there in a couple of weeks.

Any tips?

Would be Bath for me.

March....pop over here to Cheltenham for a day at the Festival

then back for Palace on the sunday

Failing that i'd 100% agree with Bath - cracking place

Cardiff is great for the bay area and not too far to drive to the Black Mountains for some stunning scenery to mix it up a bit

I'm liking all the suggestions for Bath. I'd heartily recommend that too. Unfortuntely when I told my girlfriend i'd booked us a weekend away in Bath I think she misunderstood.... bathroom.......sobbing........heavily.

Barry island

Be careful what you tell T Soprano, he will literally want to know the in's and out's of where you go, bit of a strange one he is!

I've been to Gareth Barry Island for a romantic weekend. Always end up sticking it in the wrong end though

Shrewsbury is nice, I had a great weekend there, looks a bit like lewes but with out antique shops on every corner, and the people don't seem to have their heads up their arse's

Canvey Island Caravan park......stop off at Dale Farm Basildon on the way

Don't know how far you want to drive, but both York and Chester are very nice

My nan lives near York, in a town called Thirsk, me and the mrs go up and stay in her house when she comes down here to see my mum. beautiful place. with Leeds, York and Harrogate (to mention a few) all near by your spoilt for choice with history/architecture and if you choose, completely remote and idyllic.

Bath, Cambridge and Oxford all good.

If you could use the train there is always London.

These seem ideal (went to oxford last week and bath b4 xmas) as u dont want to spend too much time travelling if its only a weekend

I took the missus for a lovely City Break to the Hilton in Liverpool last year.

I couldn't believe our luck when I found out Brighton were playing Liverpool that weekend.......and I just happened to have tickets!

What are the chances...............?

Stratford upon Avon.

I take it you mean Bruges for tips? Well park the car up and stroll about. There's plenty to see, go on the canals or one of the pony and traps. The food is great with loads of choice added to which some stunning beers. It's very romantic and the name " Venice of the North" very apt.
