With Liverpool only being about 50 mins west of Manchester, I’d suggest you go east at least an hour. That way, no matter how good or bad the place you end up is, you can always console yourself that you’re at least 1hr 50mins from Liverpool

Oxton Village and Neston on The Wirral are nice. When I received the all clear last year, my then partner drove us out to a country type pub so we could have lunch. I wanted the day to be so much more than a trip to Clatterbridge Hospital.

I see someone mentioned Holmfirth. I went over there a couple of times but there was only Thai and curry that I saw. You can get that anywhere.

I lived in Liverpool for seven months before I came here and spent two in Wavertree. Students made up a significant percentage of the population and you just got used to them. They didn’t really mix with anyone else but were never any trouble.

A few of my drinking buddies were from Bristol, Hull and the North East of all places. It wasn’t just Scousers.

Coffee House still going?

1st anniversary in a couple of weeks so want to book a night away less than an hour from Mcr. Fancied Hebden Bridge but struggling for accommodation in the town itself. Also considered Castleton but not sure there's enough going on there.

Just somewhere with nice views and a few pubs and places to eat.

Cheers

Look at Howarth, West Yorkshire. Very pretty and has the Bronte Museum too.

Unsure where that is. I drank in The Willowbank on Smithdown Road.

Skipton has some decent pubs, notably the Woolly Sheep which serves Taylor's beer. Just down the road is the Tempest Arms at Elslack which does good food - but check its website as it has been undergoing refurbishment. The Fountaine Inn at nearby Linton-in-Craven is good too. There are lots of places to eat in Skipton, but I'm not too keyed up as to which is the best.
