Road trip through northern England. What do you all recommend we see?
Planning on doing 4-5 days between now and Christmas. Lots of places with potential like York, Yorkshire Dales, Lancaster, Hadrian's Wall, Bamburgh etc, but want something with character, age and amazing views.

What's the best dilapidated but charming English seaside town?
I have a notion to visit one or more English seaside towns that are past their prime, but are still enjoyable and nostalgic. These towns would have locally owned shops and restaurants instead of chain stores, a beach that is walkable and scenic, shabby but friendly inns/…

"The Morecambe Heritage Centre is now in the Arndale Centre, currently hosting an exhibition on the film The Entertainer, which was filmed locally in 1959.
The next exhibition will be launched on 13th July 2019 covering the more recent history of live entertainment in Morecambe. 1950’s through to 1980’s."
