My favourite is Canterbury. It's much smaller that every other city I can think of but as I was a student there I love it. If the commute wasn't so bad we'd live there. Lovely old buildings, beautiful Cathedral, and hundreds of pubs and restaurants. The countryside is beautiful too and Whitstable (seaside) is 5 or 6 miles up the road.
Winchester is lovely too, and I like Weymouth and Bath.
For me anywhere north of London after September is too cold
I have been to York, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Sheffield, Nottingham, Newcastle, Harrowgate, Birmingham and Blackpool and frozen my xxxx off!!
I'm a southerner through and through.
