I'm amazed I've been to as nearly as many as you. I've not been to any of the Welsh ones or Derwent Valley.
Will I ever complete the list I wonder?

17, I should go to Wales more I guess.

How to get to St Kilda?
from £175 (page in French)

A fairly reasonable 16, given that some are of little interest to me (e.g. Blenheim) and several are not easily accessible.
Not previously heard of New Lanark, so thank you.

I've lived in two of them, but including those have only visited nine overall.

So which one are you visiting today?

15. But including St Kilda - highly recommended (we went from Harris).

Many not since I was a child. Should get out more.

23. Wow. Mind you, some 'visits' are a bit minimal - I've seen the Forth Bridge and traveled over it, but have I 'visited' it? And quite a few need a revisit.

I'd recommend Giants Causeway - went as a kid and and an adult. Beautiful stretch of coast.

Probably won't get the chance to increase that. Though feel privileged to have done that many.

I total sixteen.
Btw where were you yesterday,DG.? The photo on twitter looked like somewhere coastal, bathed in sunshine. 🌞

Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal is truly gorgeous, particularly in the Spring. Tip: stay in a National Trust cottage on the estate and you get your own key for out-of-hours visits. Take a G&T, sit in the walled garden and watch the bats flitter through the ruin. Magic.

I live about five miles from Jodrell Bank. DG, you're more than welcome to pop in for a quick Becks or two if you ever decide to visit.

19, including all of England except Derwent (though I'm sure I've driven past) and Saltaire.
Only two in the rest of the UK (New Lanark, and I've "been to" some castles of north Wales, albeit not all of them, but then I've "been to" some but not all of Dorset and Devon, and of Devon and Cornwall, and the Wiltshire monuments, etc.).

Very surprised once I started ticking them off that my list is almost identical to DGs. But many of them I have visited only in passing, and some were over 40 years ago. Embarassingly, I've not visited Pontcysyllte.

17, which isn't bad considering I've never been to Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Twenty (21 if you count passing Saltaire on the train). Will add another after Easter when I will be singing in Canterbury. (Why do only two cathedrals qualify?)
I can recommend the Orkney sites.

17 ... I didn't realise I'd been to so many

18 or 20
According to my parents, I have been to Blenheim Palace and Bath; but as I have no memory of these trips, I'm not sure they truly count.
I also recommend Studley Royal Park, a lovely place to walk around. Though it is a challenge to get to by public transport.

15 if you count partial ticks! For example I've only been to one of the Gwynedd Castles (Conwy)

I highly recommend going to the Giants Causeway its amazing

I'm a bit surprised you have never been to Fountains/Studley Royal. The estate, according to its guardians, includes a 12th century abbey, a mediaeval deer park, a seventeenth century mansion, an eighteenth century water-garden, a nineteenth century church, and an award-winning twentieth century visitor centre.

20 by VE bank holiday weekend when I visit Durham for the first time. And, being Welsh I have visited all four Gwynedd castles, plus most of the others.

25, still not been to Saltaire. Nor Jodrell Bank, and prob never will be to St Kilda though often thought about it

20 for me, was surprised how many I've done. Would love to visit St Kilda but all those hours in a bumpy boat, hmmmm

DG: Please don't miss Giants Causeway and New Lanark.
