If like me you are not a fan of Lonely Planet guides, what less well known places are still very much worth visiting?
I'll nominate Dudley in the West Midlands.
Set on a limestone ridge it has a town centre overlooked by a castle.
It has one of the most remarkable geological sites in Britain at Wren's Nest.
It has the Black Country Museum with Victorian settings and a mine.
I'm also including the adjacent Rowley Hills area.
Running underneath Turner's Hill is the Netherton Tunnel at nearly 2 miles long carrying the Dudley number 2 canal.
You will need a torch. Good walk for a hot day and a cold day because it is pleasantly warm inside.
Play the 9 hole golf course and while walking down the 3rd hole you will see off to your left the exposed face of Turner's Hill, and possibly the most dramatic view from any course.
