Brighton
Other beaches have sand, but Brighton is pebbled and proud. It's a cosmopolitan place, only an hour south of London, with a large gay population and inhabitants who are always ready to dress up for one of Brighton's many celebrations. The Brighton Festival runs in May, with street theatre, art exhibitions and music
Travel Guide
Cambridge
Ultra-modern but picturesque and historical – that is Cambridge.
The city is at the cutting-edge of science and technology, thanks to the Cambridge Phenomenon which has brought it to the point where it rivals California’s Silicon Valley, but it also boasts a rich history – it recently celebrated its octocentenary – and has managed to retain its picturesque charm.

Edinburgh
The location of Edinburgh - capital of Scotland and a World Heritage Site - is spectacular, with the castle high on its rock, views over the River Forth, elegant architecture and its own extinct volcano, Arthur´s Seat - described by thriller writer Ian Rankin as "a natural wonder, a wilderness in the middle of a city." A favourite Edinburgh pastime, beloved of students and others, is to climb to its summit to see the sun rise over the sea.

Liverpool
European Capital of Culture in 2008, Liverpool is a city bursting with energy and confidence. And the Beatles? Mathew Street is the hub of the Beatle experience. The pubs that they drank in are still there, along with a recreated Cavern Club (they used the original bricks) but in recent years the area has become Liverpool's centre for high fashion, with two shops, Drome and Cricket on the site of the Cavern itself.
