LondonBristolian Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 This weekend I am in Stockport. The reasoning being I have friends in Manchester, it is a base I can get to Blackburn from and there were a few places I could use h g Art Pass I was given for my birthday. I have been joking all week about how ridiculously unglamorous my destination is but, having got here, it a surprisingly nice place with a really great park, a couple of interesting Tudor buildings to explore and some air raid shelters I am off to see tomorrow. All in all, it is well worth a weekend away. But it made me wonder if it was worth having thread of tourist recommendations for surprisingly good British towns to visit. Any recommendations?
