Places to take your Filipina Wife after she gets here in UK

[James Hubbard]

Ok before i say anything, disclaimer, we are including Filipino guys for the British ladies who are with them ...


that aside


I want to create a list of places to take the Missus when she gets here and I know it will help others

so


here's my initial



( 1) That LONDON place

( 2 ) Blackpool

( 3) Alton Towers

( 4) Birmingham's Balti Triangle

(5) Snowdonia

( 6 ) The Lake district

( 7 ) Glasgow and Edinburgh

( 8 ) Northern Ireland tour of Belfast and it's murals
. . .

any other suggestions??

Only in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - as a separate visa is required for southern Ireland - as much as I love dublin :Brick:


Cheers

James.

I think the countryside of England is very lovely. Devon, Dartmoor in particular and the farmlands that looked like quilt, the coasts (jurassic coast is very lovely), Bath and other Roman places, like Silchester which has the ruins of a Roman Town and the Roman amphitheater, White horse hill, English heritage places like Stonehenge, Woodhenge and Castles....:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[LEAHnew]

... also ... how about beautiful and scenic Perthshire? It's set right in the 'Heart of Scotland' ... and easily accessible by road or rail from most parts of the UK. :xxgrinning--00xx3: Only REAL problem is the weather! :raining:

[mikey73]

when in scotland dont forget inverness and loch ness (its 6 miles from inverness) and along the moray firth you can watch dolphin's playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9eINfk0gu4 they can be as close as 20 feet from you. the rest of the highlands and the isle of skye is regarded as one of the most beautiful places in the uk

[James Hubbard]

Thanks everyone for your responses so far! I am gonna add them to my list :D:D:D:Jump::Jump::Jump:

[Northerner]

I have been thinking about this same scenario all week:xxgrinning--00xx3:

I think the main thing first of all with my Mahal is my home city and everything I an think of doing together. Theatre, comedy club, bars, places to eat.. Just getting around and experiencing the culture.

after that, it would be the wider UK and even places I want to visit myself.. I have yet o visit cornwall! Edinburgh! laces that I want to visit but would rather visit with someone, these are the places I will go... As well as the odd trip to blackpool and Alton Towers:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Arthur Little]

Marks & Spencer ... that great British :Britain: "Institution" ... patronised by Margaret Thatcher et al ... although there IS at least one branch of it I know of in Manila!

[Steve.r]

How about the west country, always a beautiful place to be, but we are all locally bias in that respect.
My Mahal says she watched the new Robin Hood film, so when she comes over we are going to go to some 'real' castles. A really good one for us 'southerners' is Arundel Castle. Also being close to Wales, there are several good ones there. Stone Henge is good, but a shame you cannot get right up to the stones these days.

I told my mahal this morning that I will take her to the beach fishing one night, she was excited about that,then I told her it will be so cold that she will lose the feeling in her feet and hands, something she has never experienced before :icon_lol::icon_lol: Warming up is always fun though :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Thanks for that Joe, I hadn't heard of it before but it sounds fantastic. The place I would recommend is also the Falkirk Wheel and the Atherton Boat Lift, but maybe not that interesting for the ladies. hahahaha

[James Hubbard]

Lol, if I am thinking of places I'd like to go, then, defo, Guitar-Tech would be the one lolz! But the Mrs would feel like a guitar widow! lolz:icon_lol:

[somebody]

If like my Wife and her friends in their 20's who have come over they want to see Film locations from Notting Hill and whatever rather than places of outstanding beauty.

For example took a picture of the Wife by a door in westminster Bridge on the side by the old GLC building (near the London Eye) At first the wife didn't click and i said pretend to open the door etc. Of course its the door from one of the recent bond movies which seems to be on star movies 24/7 so all her friends and family once told via the comments in the FB album and seemed to make more comments about this apart from the search for the blue door in poterbello road from Notting hill.
From experience young pinays although can appreciate the beauty of old buildings and fountains are not that interested until you mention it appeared in Bridget Jones or whatever..

[sars_notd_virus]

My first week is so busy here ...hubby took me and daughter to tesco,asda,morrissons,m&s,outlet village,matalan,t.k.maxx,even b&q ,non stop shopping and bargain hunting for warm clothes boots and my fave (shoes,trainers etc)

Hackpen Hill where the Wootton Bassett to Marlborough road zigzags up the hill:xxgrinning--00xx3:
Amesbury town and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. It is most famous for the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge which is in its parish, and for the discovery of the Amesbury Archer – dubbed the King of Stonehenge in the press – in 2002.

Hi James, (we must have a beer somtime I will PM you my moby). One of our 1st UK days out was Abrahams Heights/ Masson caves above Matlock Bath accessed via a small cable car (fun if she has not been in one). The views are great the, caves are amazing and the shops are touristy , best bit is great pubs and beer hehhehehe. I was based in Bridnorth at that time and she loved there as well as North/mid Wales, Horseshoe Pass, Swallow Falls, Snowdonia, Conywn castle, Great Ormes etc. Since then one on her favourities is north cornwall watergate bay, Trebarwith Strand, Tintagel etc. We are not far from Merry hill cenre she is shopped out already hehehe.

Look forward to meeting uo for that beer, my mahak and babies are in palawan right now so plenty spare beer time LOL

[Rosie1958]

Two of my favourite places in the UK are the city of York for it's character, history and architecture and Warwick Castle (there is an entrance fee but in my opinion this is the best castle in England and well worth a visit).

Then there is Covent Garden in London which is always a hive of activity, the London Eye, Harrods and theater land for a show

[stevewool]

wow rosie try powis castle thats a beautiful place to see and the gardens are great too, but then again anywhere is great if you are with your love one:)

[KeithD]

Two of my favourite places in the UK are the city of York for it's HORSE RACING
Woohoo :Jump: :rolleyes:

[Rosie1958]

Erm ...... my original post said it was for the character, not for the horse racing, have you been Administrator fiddling?! :icon_lol:

[Terpe]

I'd like to suggest a nice relaxing tour of beautiful English Pubs. :Wine:
Many are located in some very rural and picturesque settings. Food available. Interesting architecture, historic connections, interesting names (with cultural meanings), and wide variety of alcoholic beverages. :Beer:
Not forgetting cosy accomodations.
Seems to offer everything.
