    I like Swansea , but I think the Gower is a bit overrated, I mean it's FINE but nothing spectacular

    Norwich is a nice city, lovely away day
    Sheffield & Newcastle are good fun
    Best thing about Nottingham is their tram service

    Yes I know but that’s why I put it on, besides I have family there.

    Same for me really.
    Cardiff is a great size and I never feel overwhelmed by it. Brighton and Norwich both fit that bill.

    Durham, lovely place, Norwich is great too with the river meandering through the edge of the city, very old in parts and quaint

    Interesting thread.

    To get in before TBG - Wareham, Telford and Falmouth are not cities.

    Nor is Brighton! Brighton and Hove is a city - but the former town of Brighton is just a constituent part of the bigger city. Well I never!

    Hasn't been mentioned by anyone so far but I did the touristy bit around Oxford for a couple of days and really took to the city. I'd been there for different sporting occasions in the past, but had never ventured into the centre and the colleges. I really liked the place. Brighton and Newcastle also deserve mentions in my book.

    Lived in Manchester pre hacienda days great folk know how to have a good time. Been in London 41 years and I think it’s got lots to offer. Great theatres, there’s nowhere in Uk better for food and restaurants, diverse culture, fabulous museums ( all free) and plenty of tourists. I think night clubbing has seen better days as far as the west end is concerned. Saying all that I am working on my exit out and Hastings is where I’m looking to relocate at the end of the year.

    There are a few cities like Oxford, York and Bath that are nice to visit but I wouldn’t fancy living there as they are overrun by tourists at times.

    I stayed in Glasgow for a month and liked it. Had a real buzz to the place and nice Victorian architecture.

    Southampton, laid back city and close to the New Forest. Lived there in the early 80's and loved the atmosphere of The Dell, Proper old ground hemmed in by just about everything.

    I’ll give Oxford a shout as it’s been missed so far.

    Belfast and Newcastle. Both cities, of course, but still full of personable, down to earth people with a good sense of humour. Also both have some great bars. I'd put Swansea in that category, too, as well as Glasgow (although I only spent a week there).

    I have a soft spot for Portsmouth partly because of personal memories but also because it has some great history and is surrounded on either side by some truly beautiful places.

    I'm a bit love/hate with London. I love visiting the place, I love the scale, diversity, and opportunity of it. Working there was horrendous though. I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than do rush hour on the Tube every day.
