williams Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Hey all! Me and a friend are thinking of going to England in September-ish. We want to know where the best riding cities in England are, I'm looking for street spots. And also somewhere where it's cheap to stay. Help is well appreciated!

BradJohnson Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Leeds, Reading, Hull and Newcastle. Newcastle is quite a cheap place to stay but you may not understand a word anyone says. I only live about 40 miles away and I can't even understand them half the time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Surprised nobody mentioned Bristol or Plymouth yet. You may as well stop by barrow farm while you're at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinkdougie Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Stick to places up north, its cheaper up here. Could also pop along for a indoor session at the barge if you wanted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-G- Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) I recommend you to stay there many days, then you can visit different cities in the same trip, that's what i do in my UK trips. I should recommend you Leeds or London. Leeds: There are some cheap hotels. You can also visit other cities like Sheffield, Hull, Bradford, Shipley Glen...etc... There are many trials riders and very nice people, you will feel more than welcome like i felt. This is the hotel that i always stay, cheap, clean, very comfortable, big rooms...: http://www.ibis.com/es/booking/hotels-list.shtml London: Very expensive hotels. You can also visit other cities like Bristol, Portsmouth, Plymouth, etc... But the train transport in the UK is the most expensive i've seen ever. It's one of the most beautiful cities i've seen.

Yes, thank you sir! I guess that I will take the flight to heathrow and stay in London for a few days and then head over to Leeds! Would be quite nice! The trains in England are cheap since I can order them as a child, hehe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So £15 but that was with a railcard but even without it would have been around £24! Come to Leeds, we're incredibly friendly too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 That's mad but I suppose understandable as I bought mine 3 weeks I'm advance. I forgot how much that makes it cheaper! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
