Answer 4

Mmm.. possibly Edinburgh. If you take yesterday as an example, 400 Million tourists can't be wrong..

Answer 5

York.

Flamingo Land is not far away, and the coast at Scarborough, Whitby and Filey (lots of rock pools around that area and cliffs to go fossil hunting in), York hospital is the biggest in the area, York University is one of the best in the country, a leading technology institute.  York has plenty of shops, new and old.  Also for the kids there's all the history going back to before Roman times, they love all that stuff.

All that, plus a very good cycle network and a stone's throw from open countryside (literally ten minutes from the city centre, or there abouts).

Answer 6

London

Answer 7

For all that you want the best place will be London.

If you don't want to live in England, why did you put the UK?

The UK is England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland altogether,

Why not just say in Scotland or Wales?

Answer 17

I live in stroud in the gloucestershire part of the cotswolds and i love it here. there are lots of things for children to do here. there is the local leisure centre which offers swimming, skating, tennis and astroturf facilities and it is surrounded by a massive park containing a lake where you can feed the ducks, a little train that runs round the park during summer, a small woodland area and swings and slides etc. there is also a bowling alley and a cinema. About a five minute drive away you can go up to the minchinhampton and rodborough common land which is really good too.  About 45 minutes down the motorway you can go to bristol zoo and about a 1 hour drive through the cotswolds takes you to the beautiful cotswold wildlife park in burford.

And speaking of schildren there are some good schools in the area too and some really good secondary schools such as Stroud High School for Girls and Marling school for boys. They are both grammar schools and are situated next door to each other. There are also the prepatory schools of Wycliffe in stonehouse and Beaudesert on the Minchinhampton Common

There is a hospital in stroud with an a&e unit and some wards and a maternity unit but the really major hospital is about a 20 minute drive in Gloucester where there is the main hospital, paediatrics, maternity, outpatients etc and lots of specialists.

The local universities lie about a 1 hour drive to the Bristol University and a 1 hour and a half tops drive to Oxford University.

There are some national shops in stroud such a new look, wilkinsons, clintons cards, woolworths, Dorothy Perkins, Argos, Thorntons, Currys and lots of intependant shops. There are also leading supermarkets, tesco, sainsburys and waitrose. A twenty minute drive away there are all the national shops such as debenhams, H&M, BHS, Topshop and Topman, Body Shop, River Island, MKone, and amny more

hopw this helps
