York, nice historic city with good transport links. From York it's a short train ride also to Durham, and from Durham there is a direct train to Edinburgh.

Or you could stop off at Berwick and check out the Northumberland coast and places such as Alnwick and Bamburgh, though that would mean looking up timetables for local buses which might not run very often

You should be able to find plenty of cheap hotels or hostels in York with no difficulty, not sure about Durham or Berwick though, might be a bit pricier. You'd need to work out the best way of doing it. It's easy on the train but not that cheap, but there should be buses running between these places as well.

Agree with all this. The railway line from Berwick to Edinburgh is one of the most scenic. Maybe somewhere to consider near your route, outside London, is Cambridge. Beautiful and interesting historic university town, of course.

So for instance London -> York -> Durham -> Berwick -> Edinburgh? Thanks it definitely goes on my list! Hadn't considered York! How long should you stay in Durham and Berwick to see the sights? I know that Durham has a cathedral, but other than that, I don't know much about it.

I've been to Cambridge before, so I'd rather make it a little faster up North where I haven't been, but thanks!

I hear the Lake district is incredible, but I wouldn't be able to say which part specifically. But yeah, if you're going up north, might as well check it out.

Durham is tiny, so you can see pretty much see the entire city in a day. Maybe a couple of days in Berwick, so you can spend a bit of time in the town and also go to Lindisfane/Bamburgh etc and see the coast.

The Lake District is wonderful. Bowness and Lake Windermere are the easiest to get to, but the public transport from the northeast to the northwest is horrendous so it would be a major detour.

If you're visiting Edinburgh but not Glasgow, you can fuck off.

Is there a part of Europe that's not continental? I know we use the term continental United States (CONUS) to refer to the 48 states that are attached. Also continguous. Are there parts of Europe that aren't attached? I guess the crown colonies could be considered part of Europe, but are they?

Islands like Great Britain, Ireland, and Iceland are often considered not continental.

These two posts pretty much summed up anything I was gonna say so I'll just say that these are good starting points.

I would recommend a place like Lincoln, or a sight like the Angel of the North, but they're both annoying to get to if you're just using trains/coaches and offer very little other than sightseeing.

I'd also recommend the Peak District but it's a bit hard to get to the nice parts with public transport. It's also somewhat of a distrance from the eastern coast.
