If you mean near a city in the sense of metropolis, you might like York - mediaeval city, black and white houses, loads of atmosphere but only a short train ride from Leeds, which is not the mucky place it used to be, much cleaned up and modernised, as are Manchester, Liverpool and Brumigen. Lincoln is not too far from Nottingham or Sheffield, but I'm not sure these two have had the sort of urban regeneration those others have.
Thanks for the info. Yes, I suppose I am much more interested in a metropolis. I have to begin to do some serious thinking about what I want to do and where to go again (my plans had to be put on hold more than once and then I just lost track of eveything that I had in mind). So, yes, a big thanks. :D
