you live in england right ? whats your favourite area ! planning a trip in the ( far ) future & would like some pointers on places to visit !
heyy! i do live in england, in london, and there's so much to do in the city! i'd recommend visiting all the museums that are in your range of interest (the science museum, natural history museum, v&a, british museum etc) as they're all free, and also to visit the royal parks - if you plan your day right, you can visit a few places in a day, as the museums & some of the royal parks are all pretty close to each other (best to travel by train in the city, so grab an oyster card/contactless debit card and wander as much as you like! there's stations within walking distance of everything).
i also love the different markets london has - camden market & spitalfields market are great, there's a few others too which i haven't been to yet like leadenhall market & columbia Road flower market but i'd love to go! lots of great food from diverse countries in the two markets i've been to, and brick lane also has great food options.
there's a few other sights, there's usually art exhibitions/installations around that you should google closer to the time to see what's on (i've been to the van gogh exhibition, pricey but enjoyable) as well as things like free rooftop views (garden at 120, sky garden), cable cars at greenwich near the o2, etc. of the typical tourist-y things, i think i've enjoyed the london eye the most, and the uber boat across the thames the least (it STINKS).
other than london, if you're into hiking & english countryside views the lake district is gorgeous, and so is snowdonia & the countryside in scotland (last two not in england). cambridge is also a stunning city with beautiful architecture & a short train's ride away from london.
