Cotswolds would be my first choice but we've done that twice so went to Stratford on Avon last time instead. Lots of good restaurants in the villages nearby. Or the New Forest if the weather is nice, but more limited choice of places to stay.

I'd recommend anywhere on the jurassic coast, its within your range and there's lots of things to do in different weathers.
Absolutely beautiful if the weathers good tho, its worth the gamble. (Wexham).

I would suggest Weymouth, Studland or Swanage however, by car would make it hell and the trains are unreliable.

Though to be fair it will take 3 hours to get there on Sunday morning but 5.5 hours or 7 hours if it's hot to return on a Monday.

Originally posted by Ketchup View PostDid think about Le Touquet actually, but to drive in france now you need a fire extinguisher, a breathaliser and numerous other things that i probably wont be able to get in time for then.
How about a trip to the West country. Get off at Marlborough for brekkie, walk around, then drive towards Bath on the A4 via Silbury hill, nip into Avebury, then onto Bath for the night in the spa, followed the next day by a trip into Cheddar, and night and next day in bristol. All great places to go and very doable.
