Finding a November holiday in the UK

Hello yorkshirelady...
I'd recommend Edinburgh.
Not too far to travel.
Always lots to see and do.
The Christmas lights won't be switched on until Nov 22.
But the Botanics Lights at the Botanic Gardens will be in full swing.
Just google What's On in Edinburgh in Nov. You'll be spoiled for choice.

I'd also recommend HFHolidays....They do leisure breaks focussing on lots of different interests, not only walking.

Let us know what you decide...And have a great break!

I heartily endorse GeminiJen's recommendation for Edinburgh. You won't be disappointed. So much to do and see. Theatres, fabulous food, galleries, museums, castle, zoo, gardens to name but a few .... but of course, I am biased

Yes, I agree. On my next trip up I want to go to the Botanical Gardens and the zoo is one of the best I've ever been too. Just need to watch the cobbles though if it's at all wet and the high'ish kerbs; I've seen a few people go flying and come close to it myself.

I agree re Northumberland. We stayed in Alnwick earlier in June and although it was supposedly summer, the weather was quite bad. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I asked for recommendations for places to go from Gransnetters and was given lots of information. A bracing walk along Bamburgh beach was just the ticket! Also lots of the seaside places such as Amble, Seahouses were still lovely in the cold weather.
Loved Cragside, the National Trust property but it probably wouldn't be open in January.

I mean November

Even though we've walked on the beach wearing t shirts in December, when it's cold it's really cold.

Thanks everyone
I had hoped not to do the driving but it is the way it goes sometimes.
I have booked to stay near Durham, calling in at Barnard Castle, Beamish and going to see the light shop on the Sunday evening.
It is a great part of the world to stay
Cheers

You can't just 'call in' at Barney yorkshirelady !! You need a day at least to explore Bowes Museum, Market Cross, Castle and the town as well as take a walk up Flatts Woods beside the River Tees and there is a wonderful fish and chip shop in Galgate. If you want to go a bit further take a ride up Teesdale to High Force and Cow Green reservoir (the building of which took the edge off the waterfall so it is still great but not quite as good as it was) or down to Raby Castle.
Enjoy your holiday - you have chosen a super part of the world (but keep it quiet as we don't want too many people to know about it ).
