Thinking of having a few days away mid October to early November. Where would you suggest is the best place to go in the UK at that time of the year? Don't mind short gentle walks, areas of interest but also like exploring cities.
Thanks in advance.
Yorkshire's lovely Babs you've got the countryside & York city 👍
I don't know where you live Babs or how far you want to travel but I've had a couple of holidays in the UK in October, one to Dorset and another to the Lake District, did have a couple of rainy days in the Lakes but otherwise the weather was mild and dry. As Glynis says Gods own county , Yorkshire, is always worth a visit.
I have been unlucky with weather in the Lake District.
I would second York. Lots to do in and around.
Also like Chester but have stayed within the city whenever we have visited.

I live in Manchester but am originally from Hull so I know York and the Lake District!!
Not bad ideas although had just about ruled out the Lakes. Maybe a little hastily?

Northumberland's nice as well, especially around Alnwick.
I second Northumberland. Bamburgh castle and beach area I also recommend. Plus Holy Island and Berwick upon Tweed. Down further south of Northumberland Amble and the coastal drive.
At the end of Autumn the colours and landscapes of Scotland are truly magnificent. If you enjoy the city and the country you could go to Glasgow and then take a short trip to Loch Lomond and The Trossachs.
Glasgow has many great restaurants, theaters and museums. It is filled with stunning architecture and culture predominantly from the Victorian era. The city was in its zenith moment at the time of the industrial revolution and was the second city of the British Empire. The memories of this era are visible throughout the city.
For a short walk surrounded by beautiful scenery Loch Lomond and The Trossachs are a 45 minute train journey from the city. The area is a national park and has loads of great sights to see and restaurants to explore.
The Loch Lomond & Trossachs website has an itinerary planner to help you navigate your way and the VisitScotland website has a detailed section on Glasgow.

I like the sound of Scotland, especially if we can find a distillery to visit 
Auchentoshan and Glengoyne distilleries are within very easy reach of Glasgow.
Glenkinchie Distillery is in East Lothian close to Edinburgh and although I am a Glasgwegian, Edinburgh and the Lothians has a lot to offer.
Slightly north of Edinburgh, have a look at St Andrews and the East Neuk of Fife; there is a distillery at Kingsbarns.

If you're coming to Scotland, I must promote my local sights, The Falkirk Wheel and The Kelpies
