My 9 day plan for UK
 

I have 2 days' stay just for London alone, and after which I will join a tour to Europe, and will end up in London again. Then I will have another 7 days in the UK. I intend to go to the following: Windsor/Stonhenge/Bath/Lake/Manchester/York/Edinburgh.<BR>I have to end up in Glasgow from Edinburgh because I have a connecting flight there.<BR>Was thinking about several issues<BR>1) Is this schedule too tight? It seems a little crazy i know.<BR>2) Should I not stick to London for the 2 seperate days but travel out to Windsor/Stonehenge?<BR>I don't really intend to stay at every stop; but just to see the main attractions.<BR>Any suggestions would be very welcome. <BR>Thanks..

The part I'm familiar with doesn't sound too tight -- you can certainly see Windsor and Stonehenge on your first day out of London, spend 2 nights in Bath, seeing Bath on the full day, then hit the road towards the Lakes on the morning of your third day.

I would drop Manchester unless you have a special reason to go there. Not nearly as interesting as your other choices.

How do you plan to do this - renting a car and driving or by public transport?<BR><BR>If you are doing it by train here is how I would do it instead -<BR><BR>Stay in London 2 more days after you return from Europe. On one of those days take a guided tour to Stonehenge and Bath. One of your days in London (during either the 1st two or the 2nd 2two) take the train to Windsor and spend half a day there.<BR><BR>Spend the 3rd - 5th nights in York. On one of those days take a guided bus tour<BR>of the Dales or Lakes (they sell tours from the tourist information Office in the center of York). Then spend your last two days in Edinburgh and then take a short train ride to Glasgow to catch your flight.<BR>

Thanks alot for the help.. well all my travelling will be done on public transport. <BR>Any other places I should visit that I could squeeze into my itinerary?

Either as a day trip from York or on a stopover en route to Edinburgh, spend a few hours in Durham, visiting the cathedral.
