Little gems to visit in the UK

It depends what you enjoy.
I'd say Tewkesbury, but that's mainly for the Abbey, which is amazing. (The Berkeley Arms pub is good too.)

Bolton, Blackburn, Wigan or Rochdale

Forest of Bowland is underrated

Clitheroe and it’s surroundings. The Forest and Trough of Bowland .
Anywhere between the M6 at Kirkby Stephen /Applebey up through Wensleydale and across to Richmond .
Unspoilt, beautiful and empty .

I have booked to go to Tewkesbury as a 1 night stopover on the way to Cornwall in August, never been before

Clitheroe appeals to me, there a camping club site there so that would make a nice weekend away

Have driven through it but never spent a night there, not sure how motorhome friendly the roads are

Can you still ride this Little Gem between Wythenshawe and Sale?

If you're in your motorhome, Search for Sites is good for free/cheap places to stay.

We found free campervan parking in Great coastal locations in Fife last week (coast north of Edinburgh towards St Andrews).

West Wales is great but Tenby will be Heaving soon. Try the coast below Carmarthen (Dylan Thomas country).

Depends how big it is, Inn at whitewell is very nice if you’re passing through.

Isles of Scilly. Peaceful, sunny, with little boats between the islands. One bobby with little to do

Did that just this April, Bamburgh and Seahouses, beautiful place

I'd echo the sentiment and currently on our first trip up the Northumberland coast. Seahouses is indeed beautiful with a quaint fishing harbour that's the starting point for the boat trips to the Farne islands, a birdies paradise full of shags, Puffins, gulls, Turns and Eiders. The Farne Islands are also home to thousands of grey seals and the return trip was only £12.50 return.

Lots of characters on the boat donned in canvas bucket hats with zenith 10 mile zoom cameras hung from necks that projected kaleidoscopically from the camera Lense. The excitement on the boat as we approached Farne was beyond mad as they all hustled and postured to be first off our landing craft like some inane scene from Private Ryan. I took all our pictures using a 12-gig finger zoom on my Samsung 9 plus and was pleased enough with the results.
