English cities, towns, and villages I have visited — and by “visited” I mean staying for some hours at least, not just passing through. I’m saving Wales and Scotland for another (much shorter) list.
- Ambleside
- Bath
- Berwick-upon-Tweed
- (Higher) Bockhampton
- Boscastle
- Bournemouth
- Bristol
- Bury St. Edmunds
- Cambridge (including Grantchester, Trumpington, etc.)
- Canterbury
- Carlisle
- Chalfont St. Giles
- Chawton
- Chipping Norton
- Coventry
- Dorchester
- Dover
- Durham
- Duxford
- Ely
- Exeter
- Fairford
- Glastonbury
- Gloucester
- Grasmere
- Harrogate
- Haworth
- Helmsley
- Keswick
- London (everything within the reach of the Tube — I’m not going to list Greenwich or Kilburn or Highgate, etc.)
- Newcastle
- Oxford (including Binsey, Wolvercote, etc.)
- Reading
- Rochester
- Salisbury
- Stratford-upon-Avon
- Tintagel
- Wells
- Winchester
- Windermere
- York
Interesting that I’ve managed to avoid the big cities with the exception of London. If I could visit one place in England that I haven’t yet visited, it would be the Norfolk Broads. Or maybe the Yorkshire Dales.
