    Scotland.

    There is soooo much more to see and do in Scotland. And it is far cheaper to visit and easier to get there.

    Get the hubby to take you up to Glasgow and Edinburgh.

    The Lake District is great and not so far from you.

    Edinburgh on Christmas Eve is great. If you are into art then the Glasgow School of Art is great (Charles Rennie Mackintosh) and that can be visited any time of the year. There is of course Edinburgh Castle. However to get the best out of Scotland and its great outdoor scenery then it is best visited in the summer. The highest peak in the UK is in Scotland and there are a good number of larger lakes (lochs) including the infamous Loch Ness.

    You are more likely to see snow in Scotland than most other places in the UK and Scotland is the only place in Britain where you can do some genuine ski-ing. (I have heard of grass skiing on the Pennines LOL).

    To get to Scotland from Yorkshire is just around 3 hours drive, as I recall, depending on the route that you take and your speed.

    But hurry, as you may soon need a visa to visit Scotland.
