Fancy a trip to Moscow, or maybe Melbourne? For British travellers our picks offer the exotic, without the actual overseas bit
This charming Georgian market town owes its name to the Victorian prime minister William Lamb (2nd Viscount Melbourne) rather than its Australian equivalent, and is something of an under-the-radar gem. The streets are dotted with one-off shops, great delis (the Melbourne Deli at 37 Derby Road is particularly good) and restaurants, and there are some lovely walks in the grounds of 18th-century Melbourne Hall, home of the original Viscount M. Keep the foodie theme going with a stay at Harpurs, a slick restaurant with rooms right in the heart of town.
