How many have you been to? I am pretty sure that we have been to all, but only to the environs of Aberdeen. We have been to the village sized ones like St Davids. How about you? And which was your first?
My first was Lancaster, because I was brought up there. Stayed with family in Manchester as a child and worked there for some years, and first went to London as a young teen.
Looking at the .Gov list, I've not been to Chelmsford, Chichester, Colchester, Derby, Ely, Exeter, Lichfield, Peterborough, Southend.
None in NI
Scot-not Dundee or Aberdeen
Wales- not Bangor, Newport, St Davids, St Asaph
We're not city people, prefer a pretty village. Been to a lot of those.
I think we must have gone to London first, then Cambridge, Northampton, Coventry, Birmingham. Then Wrexham, but it wasn't a city then, Chester and Liverpool. All the others happened in our caravan travels. Manchester was a late comer. I think we have been to all in Eire and NI.
We’ve got 8 in Scotland, Dunfermline the most recently designated, city itself in a poor way but oh! The abbey church & palace are astonishing. Carnegie (he of Library fame) came from here.

First one was London, as it was by far the nearest when I was born. When I was born, Enfield my place of birth, was in Middlesex, but it is now regarded as London.
I have also been to 40 in England, 4 in Scotland, 3 in Wales, and Gibralta. My wife probably hasn't visited quite as many because some of those I visited when I was working as a coach driver. Neither of us has been to Ireland.
We have been to a few. London and Canterbury often, as I am from Kent originally. Birmingham and Wolverhampton close to us, as is Chester.
I like Chester, Hereford and Worcester. Wells and Cambridge are nice too.
Not a big fan of the big cities these days.
I worked in Wolverhampton for 3 years (before it became a city.)

There are 18 I haven't been to, some of which I don't think I'll ever visit, which doesn't really bother me - although I would rather like to see Oxford and Cambridge, for the architecture and the academic vibe (but not the traffic problems!). My first was Liverpool, being born just across the river, then Chester where I later went to college.
------------- Always edited for sloppy typing - when I spot it!
A good few I would not return to, like Derby. We went from Liverpool (loved the maritime museum) to near Burton on Trent, Nottingham and Derby from there.
I had to Google the list of cities to check, and have been to quite a few but not all, mostly in England, none in Wales, 2 in Scotland (Edinburgh and Inverness), none in Northern Ireland.

I had to google the cities too. Most of the ones I haven't been to are in the north of England. In Scotland I have been to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, and Aberdeen. All a good few years ago and mainly by train, although Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen I went either by a truck or coach that I was driving, so all for work purposes.
