>>15237130scotlands nice in places. edinburghs beautiful, its the closest thing to a modern medieval city in europe, and the walk up the royal mile, overlooking the gardens with the castle looking over you on the left and a bustling main street with shops and everything on the right is incredible, but the tourist trap shops are shite. plus some good pub crawls. glasgow's not as "nice", it's like new york scaled down, poverty included, but i lived there much of my life so i like it. the highlands and islands are great, especially arran, which is like scotland in miniature because the highland fault line cuts it in half, and the northern half is mountainy (off the coast of ayrshire, which is very nice in places but very rural) and skye. western highlands are nice generally, very wild. the west highland way is a good way to stay with people while still experiencing them though
irelands nice too. i really love donegal, ive went over a few times and just walked about for days at a time with a tent and some money. loads of really nice villages, like dungloe. northern ireland is nice in places; derry has a lot of history, antrim has the giants causeway, belfast has the titanic exhibition which is really interesting. dublin is very pretty. im not so familiar with the south east though. when i come into enough money ill definitely want to go back to ireland for a longer period of time and travel all over, either on foot, on bike or hitchhiking
and englands actually ok too, as much as i shit on it. ive heard the main bit of london is actually pretty great, and while I haven't been far south, ive been in the north, the borders and down to newcastle and stuff, and it was quite nice. they have more ancient buildings and things than scotland and ireland, mostly because of the various wars in ireland and scotland over the many centuries (often waged by england), so that's one thing they win out on. ive been to liverpool too, which i quite liked. reminded me of glasgow.
