Put the items in your preferred order.
Edinburgh
Castle views, Old Town closes and a buzzing Fringe scene make Edinburgh a year-round favourite for a city escape with serious atmosphere.
Bristol
Banksy murals, a thriving food scene and the colourful houses of Clifton give Bristol a creative energy few cities can match.
York
The Shambles, the Minster and centuries of history packed into walkable streets make York feel like a proper storybook weekend.

From the Albert Dock to the Beatles trail, Liverpool offers culture, nightlife and some of the friendliest locals you'll meet.
