Where should a group of mature ladies go?

Well, from your username I assume you’re near Cambridge, which has a lot to offer.

Where are you travelling from. Does it need to be within a day?

Hello 👋 Cambsnan!

My sisters and I went to Nice last year. We stayed in the Hotel Splendide just off the promenade and had a super suite for the three of us. We used the open top bus to get around the landmarks and the Old Town. We took the train to Monaco for a great day out. You can also go to Cannes and St Tropez. We had wonderful weather in early October. I'd certainly recommend it.

This year we are going to Copenhagen and we're hoping to take a train, or possibly ferry, to Sweden.

Have a wonderful time whatever you decide.

For a day? A week? 3 months? From where? Budget?

I second Copenhagen. Great place for a short break.

Is this a uk break or abroad ? A day or weekend ?

You could get a train to Barcelona.. such a fun city with plenty of culture and great food..

Florence would fit your requirements. It’s an amazing place to visit.

Italy.
In a heartbeat.

Matera in Basilicata is definitelyworth a few days. If you have a car you could try other lovely places nearby - and more off the beaten track places, according to your likes/dislikes.

A European great rail journey wold be my choice if I were younger and fitter

Naples. Great food, great wine, great coffee and mind blowing art, history and culture. Easy to get around by trains, buses and boats. The islands of Capri, Procida and Ischia nearby as well as the Amalfi coast, Pompeii and Herculaneum. Naples is also not expensive compared to other Italian cities. If you choose to go can I come with you?

I love Naples. ❤️

Are you looking at UK breaks? I can recommend Exeter, Ironbridge, Lincoln, York,Chester, Birmingham, London, Glasgow, Edinburgh. All great cities with plenty of history/museums/art plus restaurants and bars to suit all budgets. Have a great time where every you end up.

Base in Florence and explore Tuscany by train. Sienna, Lucca Pisa…. Fantastic on all fronts.

Norway, the fjords?

Come to Durham and Northumberland, but pack your sweaters and an umbrella! We are still waiting for a change in this awful weather.

Definitely Durham and Northumberland if you are looking for a break in the UK.

Venice or Seville.

Be helpful, OP, if you came back and gave us a bit more info? When might you go? UK or abroad? Any mobility issues? Rough budget? Length of stay? Have you been on breaks together before? Etc

Perhaps Cambsnan and her friends have already left LucyAnna2 🚂 ✈️ 🚗

Wherever you want!!

Come back Cambsnan and talk to us!

Shrewsbury in Shropshire is an interesting place to visit. Historic buildings, the Quarry Park, interesting churches, including St. Chad's, a round church. There's the River Severn for boat trips. Plenty of good eating places. Lovely, independent shops. Close to the historic town of Ludlow and not far from the Welsh borders.

I love Naples. ❤️

So do I NotSpghetti. I lived nearby for some years but that was a long time ago. It's quite amusing that Naples has become a trendy place to go. It used to be considered almost a no go zone by tourists but that was fine, all the more for me!
