    Chester, Stratford Upon Avon. You could even get to London for a few hours, good fast train service into Euston. Harrogate is a favourite of mine.
    Lake District.

    I was actually thinking of Chester looks a nice place.

    I'll be in London in a few weeks so thought I'd wait until then.

    York. I'd also recommend some of the villages in the Calder Valley like Hebden Bridge

    depends what you want to do.
    If you want to go shopping, then go to Chester or Cheshire oaks.
    If you have kids then you could potentially give the Forbidden corner a go.
