Hello,
I’m Mark
Welcome to my blog. When my girlfriend came to visit me in England, I wanted to find cool places to take her that were a little different from the norm and do things that would create good memories for her.
We also realised that the price of a day out rarely had anything to do with the quality of the experience. Cheap days out were often more fun than expensive tours or fancy places. With that in mind we set up this blog for you to enjoy your days out in the North West, whether it is solo, as a couple, as a family, or retirees at a more leisurely pace.
Please let us know of any places we should check out at: northwestdaytrips@gmail.com
