How many of these places have YOU visited?

This is not the normal list of worldwide cities and sites like Stonehenge, Disney and Paris.  This is a more personal list.  About a dozen places in this list are "bucket list" places that Lisa and I drew up last night over dinner in the "Keel and Cow". Many of the others are old favourites and happy memories we would love to go back to, and most of the rest are places that one of us has visited and would love to take the other.

How many of these places have YOU visited? (how many did you have to look up?)  ... where would you add as a "must go" that we have missed?

33 out of your 77 so just under half.Quite a few are on the bucket list.

31 - "must try harder"?!

30. Most of which are UK and Ireland destinations. Plan to add Isle of Man in '23

Just 14, not even been to Blackpool :(

17 as far as I can remember - I've led a quiet life.  (I'm taking 'visited' to mean 'walked around in'.)

38 for me

25.  All in UK.

Rather partial to Fort William being on the list but perhaps it’s the journey there I prefer more.

21... I've not included any city I may have driven round the periphery of in a car at night or driven through without pause.
I would recommend Hamburg as a really interesting city to visit, Krakow is another one. Alicante is...or was....underated and the coastal tram/train makes for good day trip exploration from there.  Just over the channel the St Malo/Dinan/Dinard "triangle" has much to offer and finally...Bruges is a real gem.
I could go on....

25 not counting one where I never left the station!

37 for me!

Only 17 for me.

Just 10, but 2 more booked- barcelona and Corfu

18 not counting those where I've only passed through on the train.

You should visit Lincoln for the cathedral and Merthyr Tydfil for the industrial history.

I am going to get back and answer everyone else in the morning ... but had to comment that we were in Hamburg at the start of this week; cold and tale to tell, Christmas markets not to my taste but much marked for a future visit ... and we'll be in Bruges tomorrow - actually a city we both know having spent a week there giving an IT course, and with all the evenings available to look around.    Those were the days of travelling in a car not the train, though.

Too few to worry about.

A suggestion to add to your list. You have Ventnor on the list, how about dragging your electric bike out and see more of the old railways on IoW?

Get a ticket through to West Cowes (WTW) which will include the JetFoil from Southampton, which now has bike spaces. Then follow NCN 23 via Newport to Sandown. The only hill is the approach to Sandown, where the signage becomes a bit iffy and then down to the sea front if you want a paddle. You can continue along the coast to Ventnor, but the hill from the promenade to the station is steep. If you are really adventurous you can follow the old line to Wroxall which is the end of NCN 23. You can then cheat and fold the bike up and get the bus back to Newport, and West Cowes.

Some of the old stations and facilities are more obvious than others. Merstone Junction always intrigues me, did they really have trains that long on the IoW? Nice station house at Alverstone.

Some lovely thoughts there ... on the Isle of Wight I included Alum Bay and Ventnor as representative of the island but I have fond memories from Childhood of walking through the tunnel towards Ventnor West, and of climbing high on Boniface Down.    On the Isle of Man, just been there on a single visit and would love to go back.

Lincoln and Merthyr almost made my list - they would have been there had we expanded the list to 100; Brayford Pool and the Glory Hole are memories of Lincoln and I would welcome time there in a summer just to watch the people go by and such in the environment. Been to Barcelona and Corfu both this year - you will enjoy, LiskeardRich.  Blackpool was the only place we've visited that I've seen Lisa concerned for her personal safety - perhaps because I'm not in the habit of dropping her (or myself, I supposed) into potentially risky mixes.

29. Might of been 30 but Pilning wasn't on your list !..

24 (16 UK, 8 Overseas). As a 'must go' repeat visit I would have to flip a coin between Rome & Naples. For a first time visit I will pick Ipoh (but only because it is pencilled inked in for next September!)

Like it ... yeah, an oversight, perhaps.   It's in the same "group" as Odessa where I want to go an spend some time when its practical and safe both to get there and get back.

37 for me - 33 UK and 4 overseas. The overseas ones are Barcelona, Catania, Latour de Carol and Palermo.

I've also passed through 2 other UK ones by train but not got out there to visit (Peterborough and Sugar Loaf).

27.  No Watchet on this list.  No Badsey, either  :D

33 for me.

25, I think. Got a bit confused by Seattle, as I read it as Settle - but I've been to both. I've also visited Montpelier and Montpellier (for completeness; the French one was OK but east west home's best).

Went to Berlin in '89. Air was crackling with excitement. Tried to meet a friend coming in from the east via the Trans-Siberian, in a bar at Checkpoint Charlie, at midnight. He'd read the timetable wrong, so we ended up hooking up at Bahnhof Zoo at midday the next day. Happy days.
