Hey Windy...I know Burnley extremely well...have pm'd you;)
There's an AA book called "Days Out" which covers all areas of the UK.
Mind you, it's good but since it covers all the UK, it's not comprehensive. I thought, "Only mentioned two or three things in this whole area?!"

Well I live in Newcastle upon the Tyne (ok V you had a bad experience with the food) but hey it's a big place. Anyway we have the Metro Centre 15 mins away, one of the biggest shopping malls in Europe. Really fab honestly!! We have Durham about an hour away, beautiful cathedral city really pretty and very quaint. (love Durham) We have the Angel of the North (funny looking landmark of an angel with aeroplane wings) The Millennium Bridge (the winking eye) the best nightlife in the world (yeah! it's true)
We have Newcastle united (love em or hate em??) Newcastle Brown Ale (love that or hate it too?) Fabulous beaches (bit cold but lovely) Northumberland coast just 30 min away (really beautiful) and it also has Lil ol me so it can't be all that bad eh?
There's more but i'm boring everyone now!!

I live in Perthshire which is advertised by the local tourist board as "the big tree county". There are lots of good walks, including the walk to the hermitage in Dunkeld. Dunkeld although small also has a lovely Cathedral and a music bar which was owned by Dougie McLean and still has regular folk sessions. It also has a contemporary Arts centre and the Beatrix Potter garden (she used to holiday outside Dunkeld and that is why Mr McGregor the gardener is so called.) The last picture is the lovely village of Kenmore on the banks of Loch Tay, where I grew up. Not much night life unless you count star gazing but beautiful scenery :>)
for any of the members that are into the gory anatomical details :eek:.....Dr
Von Hagens has an exhibition on at the science museum I mentioned earlier...not sure its my cuppa tea but it'll be a unique exhibition
