depends what you're looking for
if you want peace and quiet, the lake district or glamping in the scottish highlands. for a seaside holiday, i like dorset, which will be much less crowded once the kids go back to school, not to mention cheaper. bit of nightlife and shopping what you want? try london. oxford is ok, as long as you don't want to drive. there's the roman baths in bath, not bad and warm on a chilly autumn day. just avoid pontins and butlins.
