Advantages: Friendly market town with lots to do Disadvantages: No buzzing night-life (not necesarily a disadvantage)
...A brazen ram dominates the high street of Moffat, a pretty market town in Southern Scotland.
But Moffat’s heritage goes much further than its agricultural roots: A Victorian spa town; a stop over for Robbie Burns; a once thriving mill industry; a centre of religious conflict and spectacular scenery, this tiny town (population 2,500) is packed full of things for visitors to do. Yet, Moffat feels as unlike a tourist trap as it could.
Our four day stay was too short to enjoy all Moffat’s delights, not least of which is the amazing countryside which is generously peppered with walks from the short and easy to the long and challenging. (There is even a Walking Festival every October.)

...I live in Morecambe (as you may have guessed from one of my previous review - http://members.dooyoo.co.uk/destinations-national/ morecombe-in-general/1084120/) meaning that I am a 5 to 15 minute car / train / bus ride away from the Historical City of Lancaster. Lancaster is a loverly mixture of history, contemporary culture and vibrant city. It has plenty of heritage to entertain all ages. There is everything you could want - castles, museums, shopping, entertainment and great food!
It is perfectly located between The Lakes and Manchester, meaning you can drive to either in a day and back comfortably with plenty of time to look around without feeling rushed.
Below Are just some of my favourite places to visit in Lancaster:
Williamson Park & Butterfly House
Williamson Park, Butterfly house and Ashton Memorial is 54 acres...
