[quote=Anonymous]OP, your post didn't indicate the duration or budget for your trip.  You said it's your first time in the UK, so I assume London is your entry point and that you will spend some time there.  London and the surrounding area offers so much that it took until our third trip before we actually moved on to the rest of English and Scotland.  There really are so many iconic sights, so many museums, and so much history in London itself, that you will have trouble narrowing it down, especially on a first trip. Easy day trips you can do on your own include Windsor, Greenwich, Oxford, Hampton Court Palace, Bath, and more.  We've also done tours to the Cotswolds and others via a small group (van) or private car.  Lots of fun special interest tours too like Harry Potter, the Beatles, Downton Abbey, Bletchley Park.

Our last trip to the UK, we spent a few days in London, followed by time in York (a smaller city with lots of history and variety --highly recommend), and Edinburgh (during Fringe, not by choice).  We took day trips from each of these cities too, for a total of about 16 nights.  The LNR train is easy (there is a comfortable lounge in each station for first class passengers with snacks, restrooms, and other facilities) and the station stations were walkable to our accommodations in York and Edinburgh.  The cost of the train transportation was partly offset by the much less expensive hotel, food, attraction costs in York and Edinburgh as compared to London.[/quote]
