Well, I'd like to travel to some places and I think UK and Ireland have a lot to see, but this time I'm looking for nice places without being big cities (like London and Glasgow), you see?County Donegal looks very beautiful, by the way! And all the other, of course.

I know the whole of Ireland (North and South) very well.Co. Donegal is right up there at the top of my choices to see.
Incidentally, just my opinion.... I much prefer the night life in Belfast, than in Dublin.
Let us know if you go - and how you get on please.

Sure. By the way, i'm going to make an Inter Rail, so i'm probably going to ask similar questions to this one on other "Europe" topics, asking people to say their favorite places in each country. I'm so excited!Thanks for your help!

Scotland (you can't say Edinburgh or Glasgow) - Inchcailloch on Loch Lomond, or really all of Loch Tay.England (you can't say London) - Bournemouth, although that could be because I have family there I rarely see rather than it being inherently excellent.
Wales - I have never been.
Ireland - Dublin.
Northern Ireland - Travelled fairly well but too young to draw any reasonable conclusions.

Ireland - Youghal.England - (1)Rosebery Topping, N York Moors, and (2) Conholt Causeway (Hampshire / Wiltshire border)
Wales - almost anywhere in the Wye Valley.
Scotland and N Ireland - not seen enough to comment

If it's restricted to places I've actual been.Scotland (you can't say Edinburgh or Glasgow)

the various "troubled" areas in Belfast via all the muralsAfter last night there is yet another area to see, or avoid - as the case may be.

I know, great new tourist sightseeing opportunity.And on your right you have a burnt out Vauxhall, still smouldering ladies and gentlemen. On the left you have a troublemaker who's going to pop down to the local catholic church and start playing loyalist tunes to incite another riot. Later on in the tour ladies and gentlemen, we'll go past the Europa hotel, which is the most bombed hotel in the world.
