Weekend breaks localish

Featured Replies

Me and Mrs fancy a weekend away next weekend kids are all away thank fuck.

Dont finish work till 8 on the Friday (hopefully a bit earlier) so needs to be within an hours drive from Horwich.

Just want somewhere with a couple of pubs and restaurants to chill out and have a mooch around during the day.

Any ideas chaps?

Nice place when the sun in shining. Not sure what it’s like for pubs/restaurants in the evening?

I’d throw Chester in the hat

Alderley Edge. Plenty of places to eat/drink and could go a walk to the Edge or Jodrell Bank?

Hale or Lymm. Mooch around Dunham Massey in the day

Lytham.

Poulton

York if you go the other side 

Surely from what folk have said about it being a decent place for a drink etc Lancaster has to be up there? Or somewhere close by there?

Well stay at the Whites Hotel.

An hours drive if you go round the M60 a couple of times and there’s loads of places open. Walk to the pike etc 🙃

You’ll have to go clockwise round the M60 though or @Casino gets all uppity

lots of good shouts here thanks chaps 👍

Get to St Annes in about 40mins, a few pubs that are ok and some nice restaurants.

Just get hotel only, the toby carvery and the local spoons both do big cheap breakfasts.

Loads of free parking too.

It's funny you say that because when I worked on his house the other year, he answered the door in a tuxedo....reckons he was casual due to working from home that day.

Cottage/b&b?

Trough of bowland or Arnside maybe.

Reckon there'll be plenty of places desperate for bookings.
