Overseas visitor

Dave_liverpool

Hi,

We may have an overseas visitor coming to stay for a couple of weeks in Nov/Dec '10 and would welcome a list of 'must sees' in Britain.

We live in the North West of Uk and have The Lakes/Manchester for a theatre trip and shopping/Liverpool for the Beatles/Alton Towers (if in date) or Blackpool Pleasure Beach (not 1st choice) on the list.

We are also thinking of typical british outings such as Bingo/pictures/our local (:p).

Any other suggestions?

We have transport and time, where would you highly rate?


The visitor is from Turkey and I think 1st time out of his country.

Many thanks.

Castles, Mountains, National Trust Parks and halls ,History , Lots to see and do around Southport/Lakes/North Wales unless your pub is special and they are drinkers they wouldnt "get it"(Take them to the Grafton) Bingo would be my biggest nightmare for a foreign visitor have you heard how fast they call ,

HTH

Sorry! I must have missed the news that SCOTLAND had stopped being part of the Ununited Kingdom.

Shouldn't that be the North West Of England!

Dont be a fufu fifi nothing was said either about Scotland nor was anywhere south of Stoke either. I had a hunch that Dave and his wife was from Liverpool(as their name says) and gave information regarding their location and things close to them as they asked for info relating to things close to home.
For the balance dave & wife scotland is nice this time of year take a hat and coat as it can be bitter.

If you're in Liverpool then you could easily pop to Chester and do the city walls, amphitheatre etc.
How about finding a quaint village with a thatch or two. When my cousin came to visit from Canada her list of must-sees included a red phone box, black cab and thatch cottage!
