Traditionally, the seaside. However, if you're coming from America you probably don't want that so much.

London is a real must and has plenty of attractions for all age groups. You might also try Chester or York. If you are visiting with young children, Chester might be the slightly better choice. It has a very obviously 'olde worlde' appearance. :) You might do a websearch for both places.

If you visit York, you may wish also to visit Lincoln or Durham. Both have spectacularly situated medieval cathedrals. (From Lincoln you might wish to visit the original Boston).

If you go to Chester, you may wish to go on to visit North Wales or the Lake District.

Information on all these places can be found on the web.

Please note that by comparison with the U.S. Britain is generally expensive. This applies in particular to the cost accommodation and meals.
