Wise ones (or perhaps not so wise - not necessarily a requirement),

I'm seeking ideas for a break away in the UK for a lone traveler.


Key factors:

lone traveler

non driver

small budget (not wanting to have to pay unnecessary extortionate additional fares for being a single occupant where possible)

areas of interest that have historic background

walking activities tied into the above a must

not particularly interested in any "spa" or relaxation get-a-ways

no set date for travel just yet so could potentially be on the look out for last minute (and worthwhile!) deals


Any helpful ideas?

Have you thought about joining Companions2Travel? Mind you, when I did I only got emails from married men whose wives didn't like travelling and who didn't know they'd joined the site.


My own plan is to take the Caledonian Sleeper to Fort William in May or June, go on the Jacobite steam railway to Mallaig, then visit a few islands for some walking.

Why not narrow it down a bit KK and then it may be easier to decide?


Are you after a city break? Or would you rather be beside the seaside, beside the seeeaa?


Cambridge is a lovely historic city and ideal for walking around, lots to see and do. Plenty of walking tours, river tours, excellent museums to cater for all tastes, nice restaurants, cafes and bars, pretty cheap to travel to by train from London.


Lyme Regis is gorgeous although I am not sure how easy it is to get to via public transport. But excellent if you like walks by the sea, cream teas and enjoy natural history.

I keep toying with that idea katanita although I tend to find they don't fit in with my timings.


Ah numbers, it sounds easy to break things down and believe me I start out that way. I often do trips involving coastal or coastal towns that are a short morning stroll to the sea - Canterbury/whitstable for example - mostly as I like blowing the cobwebs away that only a good sea breeze can do.

I feel as though I should perhaps try something different but then urges begin to settle in for the sea again and I end up going round in circle. Being quite indecisive when it comes to myself doesn't help!

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
