I've got 5 weekends plus a 10-day period to travel in the UK this summer, and I've got an idea of where I want to go, but I'm very open to suggestions. Here's my itinerary at this point:
First long weekend (July 1-4th, leaving from Cambridge): Edinburgh (this is pretty set in concrete because I'm meeting a friend there)
Second weekend (July 9th-11th, leaving from Bath): Brighton, possibly? I read a book set in Brighton this year and figured it'd be cool to visit, plus i hear it's a cool party town. I promised a friend I'd accompany him to Dorset at some point during the trip, however, so this might be the time to do it.
Third weekend (beginning of week break, July 16th-26th, leaving from Cambridge): Possibly visiting Dorset for a few nights at the outset, then heading to Dublin for a few nights via
www.ryanair.com and then possibly heading to Galway, or staying in Dublin...not sure. London is also a possibility.
Fourth long weekend (July 29th-Aug1st, leaving from Cambridge): Manchester and Liverpool? Is it possible to do both cities in a weekend? Is there somewhere else i should consider?
Last weekend of program (Aug5th, flight leaves on Aug 8th): London, because my flight leaves from London.
Any recommendations would be GREATLY appreciated, as well as must-sees, packing suggestions, etc etc. I'm such a greenhorn that I'm getting nervous 2 weeks prior to leaving.
