Lincoln
canterbury

How about aiming for the Eden Project in Cornwall and finding a convenient location to stay for that. Then if the weather isn't great you have a decent indoor attraction and won't be running between shop doorways. And if you do get lucky with the weather you still have an option of walks on the beach/ Dartmoor etc.

Thanks both - I'll put the options to hubby - when I'm brave enough to tell him I'm thinking of yet another holiday :rofl

During the summer it took us 2.5 hours to get from Fishguard to Cardiff (and a lot of this is motorway), so a three hour drive does clip your wings somewhat as you will be barely out of Wales!

Bath, Chester, Hereford, Worcester, Gloucester, Ludlow are a few places that spring to mind.

Alternatively can you go to Ireland with the vouchers?

Daveyjip - From where we are in Wales - we can get to the Midlands in roughly 3 hours. Alternatively if there was somewhere that I really fancied I would take the train.

For some reason, I never like Bath very much, especially since the new shopping mall opened a fortnight ago. I far prefer its sister city Wells.

Like some of the others who have responded, I think the Cotswolds would be a good place to visit. A popular historic market town like Stow-on-the-wold is a great place to stay with nice places to eat and great countryside all around for nice walks to pretty villages. This is also a good base to visit Stratford, Cheltenham, Oxford and Bath. Boughton-on-Water is also a pretty Cotswolds town that is popular with families.
