London: Camden Town is a cool place if you’re into markets and food. The usual spots in London (Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, The Mall, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London if you’re into history). I enjoyed a low-key stroll through The National Gallery in London. Southbank is great for a walk too from Tower Bridge down towards Blackfriars or even Waterloo Bridge. Oh almost forgot… Ye Olde Mitre pub. It’s a tiny traditional 1547 real ale pub. I fell in love with hand pulled ales over there.
England: If you’re in the south/the coast I preferred Eastbourne and Hastings to Brighton even though Brighton is the most famous. Also if you’re after white cliffs, Eastbourne has more impressive ones than Dover even though the white cliffs of Dover are the more famous.
Scotland: Definitely try a nice sit-down meal of Haggis if you haven’t had it before. I spent a bit of time in Edinburgh just unwinding and soaking it all in. Obviously the castle is a focus point. You can’t really go wrong much there. Went to bingo at Meadowbank and that was great if you like bingo.
Wales: I only went to Cardiff and the main thing I went there for doesn’t exist anymore (Doctor Who Experience). The streets and Cardiff Castle are lovely to see though.
Wanted to show a couple of photos from the cliffs near Eastbourne… the first one gives you a bit of scale with the lighthouse. The second one was me demonstrating that there are absolutely no fences or safety measures of any kind.

My mum hates that second photo.
