'Escape To The Town' could be quite interesting featuring towns around the UK. I missed the start of the series last week, this series is on BBC1 at 3pm each day

Here is a list of the towns featured next week :

Monday - Tunbridge Wells (know it well being a Sussex lass)
Tuesday - Guildford
Wednesday - Abergavenny (Leon & I been going there for the last 15 years to visit friends, lovely area)
Thursday - Bideford
Friday - Arundel (another lovely rural area in Sussex we're both familiar with)

Out of my week, I will spend one day at Elland Road (assuming I can get a ticket), one day in Leeds (including the Royal Armouries museum), and one stop at Betty's (either in Harrogate or York). So I have three or four days to go exploring. The Dales are a given, but the Dales are quite large and there are a multitude of trails to walk. Pately Bridge seems like a nice village and a good starting point for a day hike. My thoughts, however, are based on no first-hand knowledge.

So suggestions from those who know what they're talking about would be most welcome.
