Hi Folks,
Me and the wife always try to go away for a day or 2 around our wedding anniversary (5th feb)
Was thinking about amsterdam or even venice but now probably gonna go somewhere in this county as we have left it late, cant think of anywhere inspiring, would like somewhere we havent been before.
Could do with a few ideas please, somewhere scenic so i can use my new DSLR.
Dont suggest the lakes as we went there september, peaks would be nice or somewhere similiar but dont know much around there.
Scotlands too far, anywhere within 2 hours drive or so of birmingham would be great.

Thanks
Phil

Brecon?? Or Nth Wales, maybe Llanberis?

There's some lovely pubs inthe Costwolds, perhaps a small hotel near Stowe on the Wold?

Or Shresbury area. Very quiet, rural.

Make the drive down to cornwall, get some pasties and have a romantic walk along the beach

You divvy, he said 2 hours from Brum, not 6!!!

Come to Shrewsbury, as Pete da man suggested. It's a beautiful town centre, lots of scope for DSLR wizardry.

You might even bump into me. Now there's a bonus;)

What about scotland, thats gotta have some of the best uk landscapes.

Scotlands a bit far tbh for 2 days anyways.
Never been but would like at some point.

Place needs to have a reasonable amount of b&b and hotels within the area also.

What about ... and this is a bit left field ... a trip to Birmingham? What about getting a canal boat for a couple of days and doing the canals and getting near things like cadburys world? Having a champaign breakfast and everything very close to home?

Done the city break a few times in brum, not the most picturesque ;)

another vote for the cotswolds. Some very cute olde worlde little hotels round there and plenty of nice scenery.

Stayed in a little place there once with floors at all kinds of crazy angles and a very nice 4 poster bed.
