Strawberry Hill, Irish Town

Advantages: Vast selection of nightlife, shops, cafes, historic places
Disadvantages: None

...Worcester is quite a big city, not like Birmingham but it is growing and in my view is far nicer than a lot of places you can go to for shopping or night life. For many years I have shopped at Merry Hill but come christmas time eit is more like Merry Hell. Since the developers noticed Worcesters existance I think we give most places a run for their money for shopping facilities. We have all the big stores and many little individual ones that sell exclusive items. They are not all under one roof but they are all closely linked. Night life in Worcester is not bad either. There are 5 or so offical night clubs, although it does depend what you like as to which one you go to. The pubs in town have various themes from Irish to Australian. Generally there is little trouble and I never feel threatened when leaving a club in the early... Read review

...Living on the border between Shropshire and North Wales, I am but a stone’s throw away from the Vale of Llangollen, which is one of the prettiest valleys in the UK and boasts some of the most spectacular scenery in Wales. They say that people often don’t appreciate the beautiful countryside on their own doorsteps, but I certainly do, so I though I’d share it with you. The river Dee threads its way through the valley to the town of Llangollen, surrounded by spectacular hills and beautiful scenery. The gateway to North Wales and the Snowdonia National Park, its scenery is a pleasant mixture of craggy mountains and rolling green hills. Achingly beautiful views in every direction, its Welsh countryside at its best, and an artist’s paradise, each season showing a different array of colours and experiences. If you... Read review

Advantages: Friendly people, beautiful scenery, great nightlife
Disadvantages: pubs outside the cities close at 11. the weather obviously!!

...club in the odyssey complex just outside the city centre. Its a theme club trying very hard to be a beach party and succeeding. There are alot of other things to do at the odyssey like bowling, cinema, three more bars and 5 restaurants. Definitely worth a visit. There are also a few good clubs in town like La Lea and Milk. In fact from funky music to cheesy pop there is a place for you to go. The Giant's Causeway: no matter how cynical you are you will still get blown away by one of the most beautiful and strangest sites in the world. The hexagonal stones themselves are impressive but its the old Irish stories that go with the place that really set the mood. Just one warning... go when the weather is good!!!! Armagh: One for the history buffs. A city that is steeped in history since before Christ. Just like Rome it has seven hills... Read review
